This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn't use before Date: November ...

The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than what is possible with traditional 3D-printers. It can also encase an already existing object with new ...

EPFL And here's the real thing in action. It's purple and pretty. EPFL 3D printers are great for rapid prototyping and building low-volume, specialized parts, but they sure can take a while.

3D Printer software for Windows MatterControl is a free, open-source, all-in-one 3D printing software package that lets you design, slice, organize, and manage your 3D prints.

What 3D printing is used for If you can dream up an object, especially if it's plastic, you are likely able to 3D print it. Think toys, jewelry, models, phone cases, molds, and more. There are ...

This has a number of benefits besides speed. Objects come out smooth — if a bit crude in this prototype stage — and they can have features and cavities that other 3D printers struggle to create.

A Czech 3D printing company called Fillamentum has released the first ostensibly biodegradable filament, the stringy plastic used to extrude printed objects. Called NonOilen, the filament is made ...

The system works similarly to an inkjet printer and squirts a binding agent onto a layer of sawdust. Like most 3D printers, the object rises out of the bed of sawdust and then, when complete, can ...

The typical, consumer-grade 3D printer creates objects made of thin layers of stiff, brittle plastic fused together. Of course, hard plastic isn’t ideal for all projects, so that’s why ...
