So, you got a 3D printer for the holidays, and you’re excited to dive in. Chances are, you’re not sure where to begin. What can you print? What’s fun? What’s useful? Justifying the purchase of a 3D ...

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

An MIT team has developed a way of making soft materials, using a 3D printer, with surface textures that can then be modified at will to be perfectly smooth, or ridged or bumpy, or even to have ...

Is 2025 finally the year of non-planar 3D printing? Maybe it won’t have to be if [Ten Tech] gets his way! Ironing is the act ...
