RIT engineering technology researcher Christopher Lewis develops self-healing materials to improve 3D printing processes and ...

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium moves into place ...

3D printers are an exercise in compromise. Generally, you don’t want a lot of mass on your tool head, as that can lead to ringing and other mechanical artifacts on your print. However, direct drive ...

A research team has found that island scanning, a printing scheme commonly used to prevent stresses from degrading or destroying 3D-printed metal parts, may not be a cure after all. Laser powder bed ...

3D printing has changed the world since its inception, influencing everything from simple plastic prototypes to sophisticated, life-saving medical implants. It began in the 1980s as a way to fuel a ...
