High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

In recent years, 3D printing has advanced rapidly. However, the technology has been trapped in a frustrating tug-of-war. If you wanted something precise, you had to wait hours. If you wanted something ...

3D printers aren't just for making random statues and toys, as admittedly fun as that is. They are tools that can create just about anything out of nothing but plastic filament, and if you put your ...

Affordable printers for everyday use are ideal for homes, students, and small offices. They handle basic tasks like printing documents, assignments, and occasional photos without stretching your ...

Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness and transparency, on a pixel-by-pixel basis while using commonly available ...

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with distinct domains that mimic the hardness or flexibility of skin, ligaments, ...

What if you could create intricate, professional-grade 3D printable designs without years of sculpting experience or expensive software? It might sound too good to be true, but AI is transforming 3D ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of going to the time and trouble of building one, you can simply repurpose a ...

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants. Changhong Cao at McGill University ...

A female wolf figured out how to pull a crab trap from the ocean onto shore to fetch a tasty treat. Scientists debate whether the behavior represents tool use, or if the animal needed to have modified ...
