3D Printing: The hype is real! Engineers, Designers, and everyday consumers are using this new fabrication process to conceptualize and create things that were once impossible. But what does this mean for the future of manufacturing and where do these 3D prints fall on the thin line between copyrigh...

Area Printing by Seurat is the only 3D metal printing process that can compete with the volumes, quality, and price points as traditional manufacturing. Area Printing is 10X faster than incumbent Laser Powderbed Fusion (LPBF) processes; by 2024, Seurat’s manufacturing process will produce metal part

Shapeways opens up 3D printing to the masses, allowing us to design and share our ideas as well as realize them as physical objects.

The 3D Print Canal House is an exhibition, research- and building site for 3D Printing Architecture. A unique project where an international team of partners and collaborators.

The goal of 3-D printing is to take this capability to microgravity for use on the International Space Station. In space, whatever astronauts have available on orbit is what they have to use -- but just like on Earth, parts break or get lost. When that happens, there's a wait for replacement parts, ...

In a stirring and commendable speech, Vice President Joe Biden makes a clear and convincing -- if entirely unintended -case for why the massive expansion of copyright laws through SOPA or PROTECT IP would go against everything America stands for, would harm innovation and be bad for entrepreneurs.

NASA already has a plan to house astronauts on Mars. NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge asked engineers to design houses that could be built on Mars by robots using 3D printing technology. NASA recently announced winners of phase three of the competition and each house has a futuristic design. Each

This movie shows the 3D print process. A time-laps movie of the second block of the 3D Print Canal House being produced with the KamerMaker - the XL 3D Printer which…

Researchers at Newcastle University have been able to 3D-print a biocompatible corneal framework using a new gel formulations that “keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer.” There is

Mechaneu v1 is the first in a series of kinetic, 3D printed objects designed to explore the limits of 3D printing as an art form. Created in a one-shot fabrication process, Mechaneu v1 features an elaborate network of interlocking gears and support structures. Spin one gear and the entire sphere is ...
