In 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing or AM) there are countless ways things can go wrong and only one way they can go right. This is doubly true on the first print of a part, when the engineer ...

3D printing socks isn’t really a thing yet. You’d end up with scratchy plastic garments that irritate your feet no end. You can easily 3D print all kinds of nifty little mechanisms, though, so why not ...

Researchers developed a 3D printer that can automatically determine the printing parameters of an unknown material. This could help engineers use emerging renewable or recycled materials that have ...

For a long time, 3D printing has been predominantly male. That's changing, though, and it's for the better. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s.

Avon-based Mears Machine Corp., which has invested millions of dollars in 3D metal printers since last year, sees the technology as a key that could unlock massive growth for the company in the coming ...

Mantle is launching a new series of $350,000 machines that can 3D-print the mold inserts that are used to produce injection-mold plastics. It’s hard to overstate how important this will be — I caught ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...

GREENWOOD, S.C. (AP) - Ethan Warner and Benjamin Scott founded Evolve 3D to streamline 3D printing and make an otherwise expensive printer more affordable and accessible. “A lot of people right now ...
