Traditional desktop 3D printing technology has effectively hit a wall. The line between a $200 and a $1000 printer is blurrier now than ever before, and there’s a fairly prevalent argument in the ...

3D printing and silicon photonics have combined in a rather exciting way this week. Researchers at MIT have engineered a novel 3D printing design on a single computer chip, officially the world's ...

The process for producing triple-layer drug-delivery particles and materials for tissue regeneration could get easier, thanks to a new advance in creating the electrospray nozzles used to make them. A ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers ...

With 3D printing becoming such a growing industry in current times, you can bet that the explosive innovation is creating some amazing things. We’ve seen 3D printing used for a variety of things, like ...

A team created low-cost electronic nozzles, called triaxial electrospray emitters, via vat photopolymerization.

Most consumers do not own a 3D printer, though perhaps one day that will change. For now, 3D printing at home remains a niche obsession, however the barriers of entry have started to come down with ...

The two most common desktop-style 3D printers are FDM (for fused deposition modeling) and SLA (or stereo lithography). FDM printers lay down layer after layer of filament, resulting in objects that ...

3D printers are common today, and they can produce shape and color reasonably well. While shape and color are two of an object's three most noticeable visual features, the other is gloss. Current 3D ...

Additive manufacturing has advanced well beyond its early role as a prototyping tool, becoming integral to production in ...
