In 2024, the University of Maine unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which can print objects up to 29 meters long.

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

The world of 3D printing is witnessing a significant shift with the introduction of the NAW 3D Pellet Printer, a device that brings the capabilities of industrial-grade pellet material printing right ...

In the early stages of the pandemic, Evert Claesson threaded plastic strands through his 3D printers and started cranking out N95 masks. A lot of them. "Over 1,000," was Claesson's guess on how many ...

This research was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/N024818/1). The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships ...

Gun control is back in the spotlight – this time with a high-tech twist. A federal judge's temporary restraining order aims at blocking plans to upload blueprints necessary for a person to build a ...
