If an object that's composed of two types of material is going to fail, the break will usually occur at the interface where the two meet. A new type of light-activated 3D printing resin addresses that ...

When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...

While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...

Elaborate multipart objects, like this chain, can be 3D printed all at once using a new vat polymerization technique. One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could ...

If you're looking to get into the wonderful world of at-home 3D printing, you must start by making a significant choice: Printing from a plastic spool of material (Fused Deposition Modeling) or ...

[Machining and Microwaves] has long wanted to use a 3D printer to print RF components for antennas and microwave lenses. He heard that Rogers — the company known for making PCB substrates, among other ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

With 3D printing becoming more and more accessible, there still exist a few limitations or practices that come out rather messy. One of these practices is resin stacking which could not only be messy ...

In the brightly lit MSE Teaching Laboratory inside Cook Hall, teams of Northwestern Engineering students peer into 3D printers, eagerly waiting to see their latest results. The materials they are ...

When it comes to choosing the best 3D printer, there’s a lot more options available on the market than there used to be. There are loads of companies out there making excellent 3D printers - both ...

In a lab at Zhejiang University, a graduate student added a common chemical to a polymer mixture—and got unexpected results. What started as a routine experiment led to the discovery of a recyclable ...
