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 ...

I recently picked up 3D printing as a hobby. It almost feels unreal to be able to print pretty much any object I want to.

Our take on the state of 3D printing, the ways companies are using it today, and how it's going to revolutionize the future of business. Read now 3D printing transforms spools of plastic filament or ...
