Resin and filament 3D printers are built for completely different things. Which one is best depends on what you want to make ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

If an object that's composed of two types of material is going to fail, the break will usually occur at the interface where the two meet. A new type of light-activated 3D printing resin addresses that ...

While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...

If you're looking to get into the wonderful world of at-home 3D printing, you must start by making a significant choice: Printing from a plastic spool of material (Fused Deposition Modeling) or ...

There are plenty of resins advertised as being suitable for functional applications and parts, but which is best and for what purpose? According to [Jan Mrázek], if one is printing gears, then they ...

Researchers have invented a new solvent-free polymer for digital light printing (DLP), a type of 3D printing that essentially pulls solid objects out of a shallow pool of resin one layer at a time.

Closed-cell photopolymer 3D printing remains out of reach for traditional vat-based Digital Light Processing (DLP) because entrapped resin is challenging or impossible to remove after printing. For ...

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 ...

[Machining and Microwaves] has long wanted to use a 3D printer to print RF components for antennas and microwave lenses. He heard that Rogers — the company known for making PCB substrates, among other ...

In the brightly lit MSE Teaching Laboratory inside Cook Hall, teams of Northwestern Engineering students peer into 3D printers, eagerly waiting to see their latest results. The materials they are ...

Methods to make microfluidic chips using 3D printers have attracted much attention because these simple procedures allow rapid fabrication of ready-to-use products from digital 3D designs with minimal ...
