— Levin Eustice, Rome Corners, Wis. A Ben Cox, engineer at the Morgridge Institute for Research: 3D printing is a process by which we make a piece layer by layer, and the various forms of 3D printing ...

Ordinarily, when using an off-the-shelf 3D printer, it's quite difficult to print a single object that incorporates multiple materials. An experimental new system could make it easier, though, by ...

Over the couple of decades or so since it started to be available at an affordable level, 3D printing has revolutionized the process of making custom objects. But as anyone with a 3D printer will know ...

Filaments are the building blocks of three-dimensional printing. As the world of 3D printing is becoming more advanced, so are the filaments that are used within the printers. While ABS filaments are ...

If there’s one problem with the RepRap, it’s the cost of filament. Sure, there’s also the computationally difficult problem of slicing 3D models, but a 5 to 10 times markup on turning plastic pellets ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
