From aerospace and medical purposes to fashion and automotive innovations, there are nearly limitless possibilities of 3D printing for prototyping, manufacturing and customization. A 3D printer ...

3D printing can be an exciting adventure with opportunities to create customized parts and imaginative prototypes. However, ...

A team at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida test a 3D printer inside a vacuum chamber at the Granular Mechanics and Regolith Operations (GMRO) lab inside the spaceport’s Swamp Works. This was ...

The building and construction sector is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The sawmills of Maine generate a lot of wood waste each year: 1 million tons to be exact. For years, it was just ...

An innovation interface tailors 3D-printed reefs to their marine environment and may curb reef devastation plaguing global coral ecosystems. The world's coral reefs are becoming extinct due to many ...

Since introducing its first 3D-printed house at the SXSW festival in Austin in 2018, Texas-based Icon has become a leader in creating 3D-printed structures. Using its Vulcan 3D construction printer, ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant ...

Warping is one of the most frustrating issues in 3D printing. It causes prints to peel up from the build plate or distort as layers cool. This problem is pervasive with materials like ABS but can ...
