Scientists have found a promising new way to manufacture one of industry’s toughest materials—tungsten carbide–cobalt—using advanced 3D printing. Normally, producing this ultra-hard material requires ...

Honda's beginnings were in true engineering; their early days were filled with innovation that ultimately led them to become ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

We’re all familiar with FDM 3D printing, and some of the more well-heeled or adventurous among us may even have taken a faltering step into the world of SLA printers. But for most of us there’s a step ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

Through the Artemis Program, NASA hopes to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon in its southern polar region.

Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are no exception. One of the newer tools they’ve enabled is the laser welder, ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

GearBerry is the ultimate solution for savvy do-it-yourself enthusiasts seeking to maximize their savings and efficiency while procuring a wide range of industrial equipment, power tools, safety ...
