Peels says that i.materialise can currently print objects up to 2m by 80cm, but it would cost between 8,000 and 20,000 EUR to print an object of this size. So the biggest challenge is cost, rather ...

LITO is an Austrian company that uses 3D scanning and 3D printing to make works of art more accessible. Read our interview ...

Is 5-Axis Direct to Object Printer Possible? In the paragraphs above, we outlined two ways to get art on to a 3D object – direct to object and printing 2D art and then forming it to a 3D object.

Before printing anything, you need a 3D model of the object you’re trying to create. The computer model is then "sliced," essentially dividing it into hundreds (or potentially thousands) of layers.

For most of us, 3D printing means printing in plastic of some sort — either filament or photo resin. However, we have all wanted to print in other materials — especially more substantia… ...

This means that 3D-printed replicas of cultural objects could wind up separated from their context and used for any number of things — from home decor to more nefarious purposes.

3D printing objects using metal is a well-established technique, but it tends to be too complex, expensive, or imprecise to match traditional methods at scale. Armed with $14 million from Nvidia ...

Researchers at MIT have just unveiled the ability to 3-D-print beautiful glass objects. While humanity has been forming, blowing and molding glass objects for more than 4,500 years, this is the ...
