Civil and systems engineers at Johns Hopkins University have a turned a longstanding problem with 3D printers into a multifunctional feature: The team developed a new printing technique that solves ...

AT&T researcher Johannes F. Gottwald published the first 3D-printing patent in 1971. Gottwald’s machine was designed to create 3D objects out of heated metal alloy, but now the new material options ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

A new technical paper titled “Semiconductor-free, monolithically 3D-printed logic gates and resettable fuses” was published by researchers at MIT. “This work reports the first active electronics fully ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) announces that it has succeeded in demonstrating the advantages of its patented Voxelfill process, a 3D printing technique that improves the strength and elasticity of ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

3D printing has taken off as a niche manufacturing method, enabling consumers to design and build their own goods. As such, it now holds an important place in the manufacturing industry. Image Credit: ...
