Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a specialized 3D printer that utilizes food ...

But if we do find a way to 3D print objects using locally sourced materials, the possibilities are endless. The tech could make living on the Moon a whole lot easier — and maybe a tiny bit less ...

It looks like [taulman] can print objects that are impossible on any other 3D printer we’ve seen; the flexible iPhone case probably couldn’t be made on any other DIY machine.

"New 3D-printing method makes printing objects more affordable and eco-friendly." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 10 April 2024. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 04 / 240410161607.htm>.

3D printing can be useful if you need a simple object or a replacement part, but making anything complex usually requires you add some non-printed materials.

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.

That is part of a larger NIH 3D Print Exchange library, which contains all kinds of interesting medical and biological-related objects for government scientists to study.
