Part of the fun of 3D printing is that it can be used for a wide array of projects—organizing your desk or your kitchen, ...

Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a mass-production-capable soft bot that is 3D-printed in a single piece which then walks off of the print bed. Before we go any further ...

ABS is a durable material that can be 3D printed, but requires a 100° C build surface. The print bed of [Pat]’s Bambu Lab A1 Mini is unable to get that hot, which means he can not print ABS ...

that lets you draw in 3D using melted plastic. The print volume depends on the print bed size and how far the head can move. Check both overall volume (we detail this in cubic inches) and ...

It lets you make 3D ... to print one shape, then the other, by mashing the G-code together and changing the filament from blue to yellow along the way. The result is the blue and yellow plastic ...

3D printing enables rapid production of parts, reducing lead times and allowing for faster project completion. This is particularly beneficial in shipbuilding, where delays can be costly.

The success of the project could open the door to broader applications of additive manufacturing in shipbuilding.

Researchers 3D print soft robots powered by air pressure. The setup from the University of Edinburgh can be assembled for less than £400.

Sculpteo launches new PA12 S material for MJF 3D printing. The material delivers a smoother finish and is made in France.

DLP is the oldest of the 3D printing technologies, created by a man called Larry Hornbeck back in 1987. It’s similar to SLA (see above), given that it also works with photopolymers. The liquid plastic ...
