Self-healing materials are being developed by RIT researchers to further improve additive manufacturing, specifically 3D-printed products, to make them stronger and more resilient. Christopher Lewis ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

A team of researchers at EPFL has demonstrated a new method for producing high-density ceramic and metal structures using vat photopolymerization (VP) with significantly reduced shrinkage [link to ...

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...

If you want a cheap 3D printer for beginners, this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deal is my number one recommendation - with the Creality Hi now $299 (was $319) at Amazon. In the UK, the Creality Hi is ...
