McGill University researchers 3D print hydrogels directly onto vocal cords using one of the smallest bioprinters in the world.

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

When it comes to 3D printing, sourcing files to print is half the fun or a daunting challenge, depending on who you ask. But if you want to take matters into your own hands, it can be worth ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

[DaveMakesStuff] demonstrates a great technique for 3D printing a sphere; a troublesome shape for filament-based printers to handle. As a bonus, it uses a minimum of filament. His ideas can be applied ...

What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

3D printing is coming of age. Not that long ago, we were still getting excited at machines that could print a 3D model of our head, or a miniature replica of a famous building. A few years later, new ...
