Polygons play an essential role in 3D modeling, allowing the design of complex objects with great precision. Learn all about it here!

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a Ph.D. student in the ...

Are you planning on producing metal parts? If this is the case, there are a couple of machining processes you could potentially employ. Requesting a CNC machining quote is a great example of this, but ...

Like Wi-Fi routers, people typically only pay attention to their printer when it isn’t working. If that sounds relatable, chances are you’ve never used a 3D printer. SKIP AHEAD The best 3D printers | ...

For a long time, 3D printing has been predominantly male. That's changing, though, and it's for the better. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s.

The highly mechanical world of 3D printers hasn’t traditionally been welcoming to beginners. Most kits require you to assemble dozens of complex pieces which creates a time-consuming initial setup.

Relativity’s massive factory in Long Beach, California, teems with activity as rocket parts are hauled from one area to another, workers compete for oversubscribed desk space, and massive hangar doors ...

Just a few years ago, 3D printers under $500 were simply toys. They weren’t very capable and they wasted more filament than they used correctly. That has changed in recent years, however, and now you ...
