The Raspberry Pi is versatile, affordable, and packed with features that make it an excellent fit for 3D printing. You can ...

3D printing is the process of making three-dimensional objects by laying thin layers of material on top of one another. Each layer is so thin that the height is barely detectable by the human eye. In ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has been available for commercial use since 1986. Early on, 3D printing took on a hobbyist role. Now, however, industries have begun using additive ...

We may earn a commission from links on this page. You can use your 3D printer to create custom outlet covers and light-switch plates. Printing your own allows you to match the style to the rest of ...

[Teaching Tech] got an interesting e-mail from [Johan] showing pictures of 3D prints with a dye-sublimated color image on the surface. Normally, we think of dye sublimation, we think of pressing color ...

For a couple of years now, I’ve been trying to find an excuse to buy a decent 3D printer. Friends and fellow Ars staffers who had them would gush about them at every opportunity, talking about how ...

Of course, 3D printers aren't solely for hobbyists and/or those looking to make a suit of armor for their cats. On a professional level, the scale of the projects that can be completed through 3D ...

Researchers developed a 3D printer that can automatically determine the printing parameters of an unknown material. This could help engineers use emerging renewable or recycled materials that have ...

While 3D printing has exploded in popularity, many of the plastic materials these printers use to create objects cannot be easily recycled. While new sustainable materials are emerging for use in 3D ...
