A collaboration between the University of Michigan and AFRL has resulted in 3D-printed metamaterials that can block ...

Charles Wade, a PhD student in computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder, has developed OpenVCAD, a design ...

Just outside of Ballarat in a town called Winter Valley, a new 3D-printed house is about to be completed. Swinburne University engineers have teamed up with Oasis Building Group to deliver the ...

Once the stuff of science fiction, 3D printers are now mainstream tools for creation and innovation. These devices, which transform digital blueprints into physical objects, have dramatically evolved ...

Construction robots have been around for a while, automating challenging tasks on job sites. The new kid on this block is called Charlotte, and it's billed as being autonomously capable of building a ...

I modified a printer a few years ago to handle multiple filaments, but I will admit it was more or less a stunt. It worked, but it felt like you had to draw mystic symbols on the floor of the lab and ...

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...

A team of researchers has made a breakthrough in the development of cutting-edge 3D-printed materials that have the ability to sense damage, resist impact, and adapt to stress. In a recent study ...

I’m the deputy managing editor of the hardware team at PCMag.com. Reading this during the day? Then you've caught me testing gear and editing reviews of laptops, desktop PCs, and tons of other ...

The rise of the consumer 3D printer has yielded amazing devices for designers, engineers, hobbyists, tinkerers, and schools alike. I've been reviewing 3D printers for PCMag since the first widely ...

Researchers have developed a generative CAD system specifically for 3D printing. Generative CAD tools have been around for several years, and they are fun to use. They’re quite different from normal ...
