An interesting research project out of MIT shows that it’s possible to embed machine-readable labels into 3D printed objects using nothing more than an FDM printer and filament that is transparent to ...

Beyond having the best graphics in the life simulation genre, InZOI also has a handful of modern features that allow players to get truly creative when it comes to customization. For example, players ...

Netflix-style 3D printer platforms like Printables eliminate design barriers with millions of downloadable models, turning ...

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.

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 3D-printing technique can incorporate invisible tags into objects. The process could be used to create tags with the convenience of QR codes without the unsightly appearance, as well as to turn ...

The first metal thingamajig ever 3D printed in space has landed on Earth, where European Space Agency (ESA) scientists are now studying it. In a press release, the ESA announced that the object — a ...

In May-June 2022, IPI conducted an online survey assessing how collecting institutions are using 3D printing and interacting with 3D printed objects and materials. The survey covered three major areas ...

(Nanowerk News) With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature. The ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...
