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.

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

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 ...

3D printing is all well and good for making low numbers of units, so long as they’re small enough to print in a reasonable time, but what if you want to go really big? Does a 35-hour print time sound ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are looking into the reliability of metal 3D printing and its ...

In response to a heightened awareness of climate change as well as sustainability goals and regulations associated with it, 3D printing is steadily being used for more sustainable manufacturing. This ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists ...

3D printing typically involves a single machine creating an object. But a team of undergraduate researchers has taken that paradigm far outside its box in the Design, Research, and Education for ...

With so many organizations around the globe adjusting their operations to meet sustainability goals, companies have begun looking for new ways to cut back on their environmental impact. As the ...
