Glass is increasingly being used in fiber optics, consumer electronics and microfluidics for “lab-on-a-chip” devices. Unfortunately, traditional glassmaking can be costly and slow, and 3D-printed ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

If you own a 3D printer, these small projects might be worth trying. They solve real problems you run into at home, in the ...

Chances are that if you’ve traveled on an Alstom train, that train has one or more of its parts created by 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. In fact, we’ve just reached the milestone ...

Your first 3D prints should be simple, practical, and satisfying to finish. This list highlights projects that print easily and still feel genuinely useful.

People often contact me because they want to 3D print a replacement part. The requests have been as mundane as a stove knob or as novel as a replacement crystal for a chandelier. Typically, they are ...

The new John Deere tractors rolling off the manufacturing line in Mannheim, Germany, have a first for the company: a metal 3D-printed engine part. The global manufacturer of agricultural and turf ...

It may sound like a pop band, but μ-WAAM is actually a 3D printing technique for making small metal parts from the NOVA University Lisbon. Of course, WAAM stands for wire arc additive manufacturing, a ...

Al and I were talking on the podcast today about a sweet 3D printed wide-format camera build, and we got to musing on why we 3D-print. For Al, it’s an opportunity to experiment with 3D printing itself ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...
