If you’re looking to jack up your car and you don’t have anything on hand, your 3D printer might not be the first tool you look towards. With that said, [Alan Reiner] had great success with a simple ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. 3D printing is a fun hobby to get into. Crafting figurines, useful tools, and other knickknacks on the fly is a pretty appealing prospect for ...

While working on a project that involved super-thin prints, [Julius Curt] came up with selective ironing, a way to put designs on the top surface of a print without adding any height. For those ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines in a single process, potentially allowing factories to produce replacement motors on-site within ...

What just happened? 3D printing has become very good at making shapes, but making complex machines with moving parts is where most printers tap out. MIT researchers, however, have developed a ...

A broken motor can bring an automated machine factory to a halt—and instead of ordering a replacement part that could take days or weeks to arrive, with costly production delays, it may soon be easier ...

Could this new device be the first desktop 5-axis 3D printer? Five axes of motion have long been desired by 3D printer operators for a simple reason: you don’t normally need any support structures.

Novel solution: Tey’s 3D metal printer uses a proprietary formulation to print articles from stainless steel, alumina, copper and silicone without the need for high-energy enclosures. Researchers at ...
