3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn't sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...

The discovery has the potential to advance the world of additive manufacturing. University of Florida engineers have developed a method for 3D printing called vapor-induced phase-separation 3D ...

3D printing isn't just a DIY option for hobbyists who want to make useful home gadgets or their own action figures. As a recent study published in Nature points out, 3D printing can have applications ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology is already known to offer a more efficient approach to constructing buildings. A new type of 3DCP, however, is said to be even better, resulting in walls that ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers. Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single ...

Multi-color 3D printing is notorious for being difficult to get right. Even with modern printers, you often end up using much more filament (and tool changes) than you would for a single-color print. ...
