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.

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

Don't just rely on PLA for everything.

A new holographic 3D-printing platform can produce detailed living structures faster, larger, and with greater accuracy than ...

Volumetric 3D printing can create full objects in seconds, but wasted light has held it back. An EPFL team now redirects laser energy far more efficiently, producing larger, cleaner, cell-filled ...

A team of scientists has unveiled a method for 3D printing that allows manufacturers to create custom-made objects more economically and sustainably. University of Florida engineers have developed a ...

Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions have embraced 3D printing as a tool for display, storage, preservation and conservation, and more. However, there is not much known about the safety ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

Unlike other tech purchases you may make, a 3D printer lets you also make your own accessories rather than having to buy them ...

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 ...

A novel method has enabled scientists to 3D-print structures into live cells, paving the way for a new class of intracellular bioengineering tools and applications. In a first, scientists from the ...

(Nanowerk News) Multimaterial 3D printing enables makers to fabricate customized devices with multiple colors and varied textures. But the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing ...
