3D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more. You can 3D-print your own designs using a ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

The future of space colonization and industrialization can now be visualized. Planetary Resources, in collaboration with our partner 3D Systems, have developed the first ever direct metal print from ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

Scientists have created a new technology to assemble matter in 3D. Their concept uses multiple acoustic holograms to generate pressure fields with which solid particles, gel beads and even biological ...

The technology comes from the University of Washington, and an example of the engineering designed technology is a laundry bottle that can detect when soap or detergent is running low and then ...

Art, sculptures and even mass-produced objects are often built to last. Ancient Greek sculptures from thousands of years ago may have lost their color (and sometimes a few limbs) but are otherwise in ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

3D printing has taken off as a niche manufacturing method, enabling consumers to design and build their own goods. As such, it now holds an important place in the manufacturing industry. Image Credit: ...
