In addition, various third-party materials and 3D-printing machine manufacturers offer mixes of some of the above (e.g., ABS/polycarbonate), with blended characteristics that represent tradeoffs ...

The best 3D printers take this basic design and make it bulletproof. They use high-quality parts and make them easy to swap out. The worst put low-quality, proprietary parts in a closed box.

3D printing is profoundly changing not just how we make things, but how we design them as well. As well as saving materials, time, water and waste, it is also opening up possibilities for new ...

With a 3D printer that costs less than $3,000, you can start your own mini manufacturing operation -- and use open source software to create surprisingly complex designs. Topics ...

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 ...

She is making 3D designs that blow my mind. Everyone I spoke to at 3DPrintopia had the same general answer to the question of where they see 3D printing going in the next five years.

These two brands making a co-branded printer was certainly not on my 2025 bingo card, though it seems that this is the year that the best 3D printers and pro crafting machines are levelling up ...
