Researchers working at the nanoscale have found that 3D-printed metal parts can stay mechanically strong even when they contain large numbers of defects. A peer-reviewed study on nano-architected ...

We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...

Stratasys today unveiled two industrial 3D printers that can build objects of virtually any size using materials such as carbon fiber for lighter weight and stronger parts. The printers were designed ...

Having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. As technology advances, it tends to become more accessible as it drops in price or increases user-friendliness. Once 3D ...

3D printing is easier than ever, but that doesn't mean you can take your eye off the ball.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. JB Babcock is director of engineering at Taylor Technologies. In Part 1, I detailed some ways to expand the usefulness ...

One of the great things about 3D printers is their ability to make a single part all at once. Separating a part into multiple pieces is usually done to split up objects that are too big to fit on the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I report on autos, mobility and the traffic jam of topics within. "Time is money" is an overused cliché. Yet, in today's ...

3D printing has changed a lot over the years, and the innovations just keep coming. Here are some exciting gadgets and ...
