As impressive as the 3D printing process is, it can also be a bit time consuming. You are creating something out of nothing after all, and your printer needs to dispense and layer every square inch of ...

Hide layer lines and seams with an uneven yet consistent finish.

Study shows that bio-mimicking spiral patterns inspired the natural strength of lobster shells can improve the overall durability of 3D printed concrete New research shows that patterns inspired by ...

The technology continues to evolve, but 3D printing is still mostly used for creating prototypes or parts that won’t have to endure tremendous stresses or rigorous wear and tear. That might not always ...

The Ford Maverick's FITS system offers a level of interior customization other trucks can't match, and these 3D printed ...

Radiation patterns for antennas can be utterly confusing, especially when presented in two dimensions, as they usually are. Fear not, [Hunter] has your back with 3D printed and color-coded radiation ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a popular method of 3D printing metal parts. It creates thin layers of patterned metal by scanning a laser over a bed of metal powder in predetermined patterns ...

How a 3D-printed design can create a diffraction pattern in a simple science experiment about optics.

Conventional textiles made of woven threads are highly useful materials. [Sara Alvarez] has had some success creating fabric-like materials through 3D printing, and though they’re not identical, they ...

New research addresses some of the technical issues that still need to be solved for 3D printed concrete to be strong enough for use in more free-form structures. Researchers found lobster-inspired ...
