D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

As a US Marine Corps combat engineer serving in Iraq, Jim Monroe used MacGyver-like hacks to repair mine rollers. Meant to detonate and clear mines, these heavy studded wheels are mounted on the ...

Scientists are uncovering what happens inside 3D-printed metals, using new sensing tools to make parts stronger, safer and ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...

Are you planning on producing metal parts? If this is the case, there are a couple of machining processes you could potentially employ. Requesting a CNC machining quote is a great example of this, but ...

Researchers have pioneered a 3D printing method that grows metals and ceramics inside a water-based gel, resulting in ...

Around 2015, the headlines and hysteria surrounding 3D printing reached a fever pitch. If you subscribed to the buzz—and so many of us did—the revolution was nigh. Our homes would soon be equipped ...

A scientist at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is working on a way to change metal 3D printing that could revolutionize the way products are customized. Diran Apelian, a professor of mechanical ...

3D printing "wood" has been with us for quite some time. Back in 2016, I showed how plastic filament infused with wood particles could be used to create objects that had a wood-like texture, could be ...

In 2024, the University of Maine unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which can print objects up to 29 meters long.
