3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space ...

We have all spent a wasted day shopping, or worse, regretting our purchases. You often can’t find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly or a lamp that matches the fuchsia stripes on your wall. Wouldn’t ...

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? A team of scientists and engineers led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has developed a process that ...

Collaboration will create specialized materials tailor-made for composite-based additive manufacturing NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impossible Objects today announced a joint development ...

It makes CAD less intimidating for 3D printing beginners by removing setup friction and teaching parametric habits that ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

3D printers aren't just for hobby projects. Some everyday items are surprisingly cheaper to make at home if you know what's ...

When you think of 3D printing, you probably imagine a structure being created layer by layer, from the bottom up. Now, researchers from Switzerland's Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) ...

What if you could create a fully-formed, intricately detailed 3D object in the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee? It sounds like science fiction, but with volumetric 3D printing, this is now a ...

The new fast 3D printing technique developed by researchers at EPFL. Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne 3D printing has incredible potential for both research and home uses, but it has some ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Once upon a time, people actually did creative things with their hands. We’re not talking about typing on a keyboard, pushing a ...
