In 2024, the University of Maine unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which can print objects up to 29 meters long.
Explore the future of 3D printing: smarter, faster, and more precise technology solving challenges like material waste and quality issues.
The 3D-printing hype ended years ago, but the threat of tariffs and the closing of the de minimis exemptions means that making your own stuff might actually hold some value.
Scientists are uncovering what happens inside 3D-printed metals, using new sensing tools to make parts stronger, safer and ...
Researchers have found a way to use AI to autonomously control 3D print workflows. AI has slowly been incorporated into the 3D print universe, typically at rather low levels: a 3D printer might be ...
Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the ...
But there’s a persistent problem: the parts that come out of a 3D printer don’t always match the elegant digital models ...
Small 3D-printed liquid capsules inserted between layers of tissue burst open, mimicking blood, when surgeons make an incision. Budding surgeons may soon train on stretchy, lifelike 3D-printed skin ...
People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven't ...
