Many high-quality parts produced on 3D printers can be sanded by hand to eliminate layer lines and produce a smooth finish. There’s a misconception that 3D printing cannot make the kind of smooth and ...

Lately, there has been lots of buzz about collaborative robots, or co-bots, which are robots designed to work alongside humans. Before we let robots out of their cages, they have to become safer than ...

Wouldn’t it be nice to 3D print an entire custom tire for small robots? It sure would, so [Angus] of [Maker’s Muse] decided to investigate whether nifty new filaments like expanding TPU offer anything ...

With 3D printers now dropping to record low prices, more and more people are getting on the additive manufacturing bandwagon. As a long time believer in consumer-level desktop 3D printing, this is a ...

Stockholm-based Studio TOOJ has designed Contourage, a bright-blue table with a wood-grain pattern that was constructed from 3D-printed sand using a binder jetting process. It was constructed together ...

Enrico Dini is the man behind Monolite UK and its D-Shape 3D printers, which print buildings out of a stone-like material with better torsional strength than concrete. Dini’s story has been turned ...

Researchers designed a novel polymer to bind and strengthen silica sand for binder jet additive manufacturing, a 3D-printing method used by industries for prototyping and part production. Researchers ...
