3d printing news

REVIEW - I’ve been printing all sorts of things ever since I reviewed the Anycubic Vyper FDM printer last year and the Elegoo Saturn 2 resin printer this

Because 3D printing allows one-off items to be created quickly and cheaply, it should come as no surprise that the technology has already been used to produce unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Engineers at the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC), however, have…

The history of 3D printing spans over 30 years, from rapid prototyping to the present day of consumer 3D. #Sermon_Graphics #3d_Printing_Projects #History_Timeline #3d_Characters

Professor Joshua M. Pearce, of the Materials Science and Engineering department at Michigan Technological University (also a regular on these pages) and Aubrey L. Woern, an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student have created a 3D Printable Polymer Pelletizer Chopper for cost-effective additive manufacturing. This new invention chops filament into pellets to be used within a fused granular […]

With an innovative mind and a good 3D printer, almost anything is possible. From house tools and musical instruments to cleaning robots and drones — these people used their imagination and technical skills to produce their very own masterpieces or functional items.

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D…

Q5D has launched the CY1000, a five-axis CNC additive manufacturing robotic cell designed the automation issue: how to automate the addition of electrical connections in increasingly complex products.

When Shapeways designer Masaharu Ono began conceiving of his elaborate, 3D printed virtual reality (VR) headset, chances are that he didn’t find much inspiration on the web. An image search...

Tabetha Noel-Ratcliff, a 15-year-old at Northwest High School in Texas, wanted to pursue her passion of playing the mellophone in the school’s marching band. She was born with symbrachydactyly, a rare congenital hand condition. Noel-Ratcliff has full control over her right arm, but her hand and fingers are not fully developed, which makes it difficult […]
