BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Lithium batteries are at the heart of electric cars, phones, wearable electronics, energy storage, and so much more powering our increasingly digital and cord-free lives. It's no wonder they are big ...

The University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a chemical process that could revolutionize light-driven 3D printing. The University of Texas at Austin Vat photopolymerization, a powerful ...

An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer, straight to my doorstep for a few hundred bucks. What a time to be alive. Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing (DLP) and especially stereolithography ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

What if the next leap in technology wasn’t happening in your pocket or on your desk, but in your workshop? Imagine a world where 3D printers no longer struggle with uneven layers, wasted materials, or ...

Making a very simple prosthetic arm can cost $1,000 for the materials alone. But 3D scanning and printing can shrink the cost to as little as $4. In Guatemala, where some families might earn $50 in a ...
