Printing your own car parts isn't science fiction anymore, but not everything is fair game. Discover what you can make and ...

It seemed like science fiction not too long ago, but 3D printing is increasingly common for DIY auto repair. Here's what has ...

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

There are about a dozen metrics by which I judge 3D printers when testing them, including speed, noise and the materials with which they can print. But, none of the latter attributes compares in ...

D printing is gradually shifting from a specialist tool to something more accessible for everyday use. What was once largely ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

Though 3D printers are still too expensive to make their way across the globe into our homes next to our tablets and flat-screen TVs, the few lucky early adopters who got their hands on them have ...
