D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...

“Our work not only enables the fabrication of high-quality metals and ceramics with an accessible, low-cost 3D printing process; it also highlights a new paradigm in additive manufacturing where ...

3D printing is a process used to create an object by sequentially adding build material in successive cross-sections, one stacked upon another. It is a form of additive manufacturing. Once considered ...

Additive manufacturing technology can be leveraged as an intermediate process. The conversation around 3D printing and traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding or thermoforming is ...

Bespoke manufacturing by design and on-demand is the ultimate goal for various fields ranging from biomaterials to structural materials. Today, additive manufacturing is a quick-moving, ...

3D printing could add the performance factor necessary to meet production demands and regulations. The movie Back to the Future showed us cars hovering in air in an idea of what 2015 would look like.

Form (Filament, Powder, Liquid), Technology (FDM, SLA, SLS, DMLS, Other Technologies), Application (Prototyping, ...

3D printing is coming of age. Not that long ago, we were still getting excited at machines that could print a 3D model of our head, or a miniature replica of a famous building. A few years later, new ...
