Over the couple of decades or so since it started to be available at an affordable level, 3D printing has revolutionized the process of making custom objects. But as anyone …read more Continue reading Wear Testing Different 3D Printer Filaments
A new 3D construction printer from Icon can whip out two-story concrete buildings faster and cheaper than its previous Vulcan printer. It has already been used to build a 27-ft-high structure called Phoenix House, now on display in Austin, Texas.Contin… Continue reading Video: Giant robotic arm 3D-prints a two-story house
What in the world could an accessory for an obsolete audio medium possibly have to do with keeping all your unruly bits and pieces in order? First of all, we’re …read more Continue reading Thrift Store CD Rack Turns Into Small Parts Storage Playground
Tasked with building a new data center in an urban area of Germany, the team behind the Wave House harnessed the benefits of 3D printing technology to inject a sense of style into the unglamorous world of cloud-computing infrastructure, creating Europe… Continue reading Video: Europe’s biggest 3D-printed building rises in just 140 hours
[Slant 3D] knows a lot about optimizing 3D prints so that they can be cranked out reliably with minimal need for post-processing, and in this short video he uses a …read more Continue reading Design Tips to Hide Layer Lines in 3D Printed Parts
A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading 3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy
What’s being hailed as the world’s tallest 3D-printed building is being readied for assembly in a remote Swiss village. The White Tower from researchers at ETH Zurich will be formed from over a hundred columns, with a performance space sat on top.

The secret to cranking out a furniture-sized metal frame in minutes is Liquid Metal Printing (LMP), demonstrated by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They’ve demonstrated printing aluminum frames …read more Continue reading Metal 3D Printing Gets Really Fast (and Really Ugly)
The most compelling show of contemporary basketball skill at last year’s NBA All-Star Game didn’t necessarily come from one of the players dribbling a ball … it came from a ball itself. That ball was Wilson’s Airless basketball prototype, a futuristi… Continue reading Wilson Airless basketball bounces to market for four-figure price
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cartilage,… Continue reading Replacement cartilage can grow in any shape with 3D-printed “spheroids”
