Fast-forward a decade, and the world of 3D printing has evolved tremendously. Printers are faster, smarter, and more refined.

How do 3D printers work? What's the impact on our economy? How expensive are they compared to traditional manufacturing? We take a three-dimensional look at the world of additive manufacturing.

A printer is essentially a sophisticated plotting machine that moves to certain coordinates told to it by the slicer in the programming language G-code. That's why slicer software is so important.

When a print job is finished, custom G-code causes an attachment on the printer to wedge itself under the build plate and peel it off until it is freed from the magnetic bed, after which the ...

YouTuber Ben Makes Everything shows off how he transformed his old 3D printer into a working photogrammetry rig.

At this point, you can basically track any G-Code command and also insert arbitrary new G-codes, for example G1 printing moves (for wipe towers) or M280 commands to control a servo.

D printing is a simple way to create custom tools, replacement pieces and other helpful objects, but it is also being used to ...

If you’re a parent, you know the challenges of trying to keep your children entertained. With the Toybox 3D Printer Deluxe Bundle, they’ll never get bored because this nifty machine can make ...

Bambu Lab, a major maker of 3D printers for home users and commercial "farms," is pushing an update to its devices that it claims will improve security while still offering third-party tools ...

As 3D printing increases both in the field and at depots, the Army's Center of Excellence for Additive and Advanced Manufacturing is slated to reach initial operating capability this year at Rock ...

Efforts by the White House to onshore manufacturing jobs and incentivize U.S. emissions reductions are giving a lift to 3D-printing companies, many of which had previously looked to Asia for ...
