To most people, a 3D printer is a cool piece of technology that can make toys, tools or parts in minutes. But for Hala Ali, ...

Space Science: The recently launched Cygnus NG-20 robotic spacecraft is currently docked with the International Space Station (ISS). The resupply mission is packed with supplies for the ISS crew as ...

In the 21st century, 3D printing has become commonplace. Nowadays, few people remember that the first object printed using ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

A few hours at a tech launch can change how you look at the future. I realized that recently, standing amid rows of humming ...

Have you ever imagined turning your ideas into physical objects with just a few clicks? Thanks to tools like Tinkercad, what once seemed like science fiction is now an accessible reality for anyone ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

A Czech 3D printing company called Fillamentum has released the first ostensibly biodegradable filament, the stringy plastic used to extrude printed objects. Called NonOilen, the filament is made of a ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new open-source tool that enables engineers to design 3D objects made of multiple materials more efficiently.
