3D printing is all well and good for making low numbers of units, so long as they’re small enough to print in a reasonable time, but what if you want to go really big? Does a 35-hour print time sound ...
Achieving good quality 3D prints always came at the cost of speed, which used to be OK, because a 14-hour print job was better than the days it would take and the sums of money it would cost to get ...
‘Manual’ is a 26-page, 3D-printed book with the code inside for how to make it. It’s an advancement in publishing that Johannes Gutenberg could hardly have fathomed.
A lot of the most satisfying 3D prints are not the giant, day-long marathons that dominate printer marketing and social feeds. Some of the best ones are quick, neat little victories that slide off the ...
Bambu Lab has frustrated a lot of makers with its increasingly closed ecosystem, but there are solid alternatives that ...
Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take ...
There’s a bit of a high-speed arms race in the RC world on YouTube these days. [Michael Rectin] is in on the action, and he’s been exploring how to 3D print a decent set of tires to help his RC car ...
James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.
