3D printers aren't just for hobby projects. Some everyday items are surprisingly cheaper to make at home if you know what's ...

A new 3D printing method developed by engineers is so simple that it uses a polymer ink and salt water solution to create solid structures. The work has the potential to make materials manufacturing ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.

If you are relatively new to 3D printing, prepare for a steep learning curve and don’t forget to order filament separately ...

3D printing isn't something you associate with heavy-duty military uses, but it turns out that the U.S. Navy has been using ...

For years, 3D printing has been quietly growing in popularity among engineers, tinkerers and artists. From its beginning in the late 1980s in the form of fairly unreliable resin-based SLA printers, to ...

The loom has been a transformative invention throughout history, shaping the textile industry from simple hand looms to complex, fully automated machines. Now, thanks to advancements in 3D printing, ...

On the “hack/not-a-hack” scale, a 3D printed bracket for aluminum extrusions is — well, a little boring. Such connectors are nothing you couldn’t buy, and even if you insisted on printing them instead ...

Today, fabricators processing prototypes or low-quantity jobs can print their own press brake tooling. They need to ensure a ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-build, low-cost 3D nanoprinting system that can create arbitrary 3D structures with extremely fine features. The new 3D nanoprinting technique is precise enough ...

Making your own 3D printed parts lets you unleash your creativity, but not everything you print is going to be reliable — especially if you're using resin.
