We continue our DIY-IT discovery series on 3D printing by exploring how to download and print 3D objects from the Internet. If you can download a file, and you have a little patience, you can do this.

This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn't use before Date: November ...

The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than what is possible with traditional 3D-printers. It can also encase an already existing object with new ...

Video If 3D printing companies and government agencies hope to police the spread of dangerous or pirated digital shapes, their task is about to get much more complicated. Late last month Matthew ...

The MX3C-Metal 3D printer can manufacture complex metal forms that include irregular and non-horizontal surfaces. This breakthrough technology has finally moved away from the build platform and ...

This Harvard-made 3D printer can create complex metallic objects other printers can't. See, instead of spitting out one layer over another, the machine was designed to ooze out metal that ...

This has a number of benefits besides speed. Objects come out smooth — if a bit crude in this prototype stage — and they can have features and cavities that other 3D printers struggle to create.

What 3D printing is used for If you can dream up an object, especially if it's plastic, you are likely able to 3D print it. Think toys, jewelry, models, phone cases, molds, and more. There are ...

The printer uses rolls of regular old fabric backed with a heat-activated adhesive. It works like a more traditional 3D printer in that an object is built up layer by layer, but instead of a ...

The printer is currently limited to producing objects within a diameter of 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) and doesn't produce any waste -- the goo can be reused in subsequent prints.
