When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...

If you're looking to get into the wonderful world of at-home 3D printing, you must start by making a significant choice: Printing from a plastic spool of material (Fused Deposition Modeling) or ...

While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...

As technology continues to advance, the upgrades to equipment and devices marketed to the public are inevitable. Although the initial hype for 3D printers may have subsided due to high costs and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Low-cost resin 3D printers have a frustrating bottleneck. Their screens can project an entire layer at once, their resins can harden in seconds, and their pixels can define ...

Researchers from Hunan University discovered how adding curcumin to resin improves accuracy in ceramic 3D printing.
