You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH ...

Lattice structures are networks of interconnected nodes arranged in repeating or gradually varying patterns called cells.

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

Researchers at the University of Washington have been developing a way for 3D-printed plastic objects to transmit data without the need for embedded batteries or electronics. Last year, they showed ...

There are about a dozen metrics by which I judge 3D printers when testing them, including speed, noise and the materials with which they can print. But, none of the latter attributes compares in ...

Netflix-style 3D printer platforms like Printables eliminate design barriers with millions of downloadable models, turning ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

3D printers are amazing things, but if one judges solely by the successes that get showcased online, it can look as through anything at all is possible. Yet in many ways, 3D printers are actually ...
