[ModBot] has been trying different engineering plastics for 3D printing. He recently looked at carbon fiber mixed with PET, but this time, he shows us his results with PET with …read more Continue reading Printing with Glass Fiber Filament
If you want better 3D-printed overhangs, you need better cooling, right? What would be better for cooling than printing submerged in water? It turns out [CPSdrone] tried it, and, at …read more Continue reading Better 3D Printing Overhangs? Dive! Dive!
It sounds like a headline from the future: the weekend before Thanksgiving, a bulldozer came for the first example of a printed home that was supposed to help the housing …read more Continue reading Iowa Demolishes Its First 3D Printed House
G-code is effective, easily edited, and nearly ubiquitous when it comes to anything CNC. The format has many strengths, but space efficiency isn’t one of them. In fact, when it …read more Continue reading G-code Goes Binary with Proposed New Format
Most cyclists probably don’t give much thought to what sort of water bottle cage they use. If you’re one of those people who just has to have the best of everything, though, you might want to check out Alptitude’s 3D-printed titanium Superleggero TI.Co… Continue reading 3D-printed titanium Superleggero may be the world’s priciest bottle cage
[Jenny List] has been reverse-engineering and redesigning the Single8 home movie film cartridge for the modern age, to breathe life into abandoned cine cameras. One of the frustrating things about …read more Continue reading Re-Inventing The Single 8 Home Movie Format
Australian scientists have created the world’s smallest moustache, tiny enough to be modeled by a single red blood cell. Measuring just 5 microns wide, the micro-mo was designed to raise awareness for men’s health.

Surfers seem like a fairly eco-minded bunch, which is why it’s ironic that most surfboards are made of petroleum-based, non-recyclable expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The Sea Mink is different, in that it’s made mainly of 3D-printed recycled plastic.C… Continue reading Sea Mink recycled-plastic surfboard is, like, totally green
A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new technique that uses high-energy lasers to fine tune the properties of 3D-printed metal without compromising the complex shapes it forms.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, Sc… Continue reading Lasers allow fine-tuning of 3D-printed metals without “heating & beating”
3D-printed construction continues to grow in popularity worldwide, and the latest example is an ambitious new low-rise apartment building in Germany. The project will incorporate cutting-edge 3D printing technology – as well as timber – and will be use… Continue reading 3D-printed apartment building provides affordable housing in Germany
