Making a very simple prosthetic arm can cost $1,000 for the materials alone. But 3D scanning and printing can shrink the cost to as little as $4. In Guatemala, where some families might earn $50 in a ...

BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

Unlike other tech purchases you may make, a 3D printer lets you also make your own accessories rather than having to buy them ...

An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer, straight to my doorstep for a few hundred bucks. What a time to be alive. Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing (DLP) and especially stereolithography ...

Jumping into 3D printing feels like unlocking a new creative superpower. You can design something on the screen, hit print, and hours later, you hold the physical object in your hands. Even though it ...

You can print a lot of things with a 3D printer. A gun, a home, a dinner. Soon, you could even print new pieces of yourself. While most uses of 3D printing involve extruding layers of plastic through ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

The University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a chemical process that could revolutionize light-driven 3D printing. The University of Texas at Austin Vat photopolymerization, a powerful ...

What if the next leap in technology wasn’t happening in your pocket or on your desk, but in your workshop? Imagine a world where 3D printers no longer struggle with uneven layers, wasted materials, or ...
