This is part two of a three-part series on the sustainability of 3D printing. The first article was Time for Clean Production Methods? 3D Printing Could Be the Solution. Part two looks at the use of ...

3D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more. You can 3D-print your own designs using a ...

3D printing (as known as three-dimensional printing) is a type of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology that uses powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects ...

If sticking drawings to a fridge won't do, parents of pint-sized Picassos can put their child's art on a pedestal by having it 3D printed through a new service called CrayonCreatures. The service is ...

3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, is a recent innovation that has fast become one of the most important manufacturing methods. In this process, products are constructed ...

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) says it recently published an updated standard based largely on research by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and it ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...

Even though 3D printing got its start in the 1980s when Chuck Hull designed and printed a small cup, it’s been in the last few years that the printers became cheaper to produce and therefore used in a ...

China's ultra-fast, industrial-scale 3D printing firm is scaling flexible materials from shoes to humanoid robotics.
