The creator presents five useful 3D printed objects, each designed with practical function, clever details, and creative ...

This is the beginning of a series on practical prints for your 3D printer. Lots of people have seen 3D printers in action, but many of the prints are what can best be called novelty prints. They're ...

Welcome back to our series on practical prints for your 3D printer. While many love 3D printing because it lets them make really cool props and miniatures, 3D printing has many practical applications.

Teams in medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing deal with constant shifts, including new design updates, changing priorities, and strict documentation requirements. In this webinar, Jeff ...

Students at Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative are using 3D printing technology to develop practical tools for their peers, according to a community announcement. The project, led by ...

Faster 3D printing can actually improve results when the printer, slicer, and filament are already dialed in.

One method of 3D printing involves selectively exposing liquid resin to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing that resin to harden into a solid. Now, scientists have developed a new resin that works with ...

Smoothing the layer lines out of filament-based 3D prints is a common desire, and there are various methods for doing it. Besides good old sanding, another method is to apply a liquid coating of some ...

Three-dimensional printing was born in the 1980s, and, since then, the additive approach to manufacturing that it enables has gradually unseated traditional, subtractive concepts of industrial ...

It just got a little easier to create soft robots that adapt to the world around them. Rice University researchers have developed a 3D printing technique (they call it "4D") for material that ...
