The typical, consumer-grade 3D printer creates objects made of thin layers of stiff, brittle plastic fused together. Of course, hard plastic isn’t ideal for all projects, so that’s why researchers ...

If you have access to a 3D printer and are looking to design or make wearables, fashion accessories or cosplay items you may be interested in an interesting way of creating unique designs by 3D ...

3D printers usually work by extruding long strings of molten plastic onto a surface. When MIT Media Lab researchers spotted a broken printer squirting out plastic erratically, they had an idea: By ...

As the 3D printing boom continues, there's one thing that is almost always the same: objects are printed from rigid plastic. How are we supposed to print soft, plushy things like stuffed animals from ...

HAX-alumnus Electroloom is builidng a “3D printer for fabric,” spraying a solution containing a polyester/cotton blend on a template to create clothing without seams. Electroloom co-founder Marcus ...

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

We’ve seen lots and lots of 3D printers over the last few years, and they almost all have one thing in common: the objects they print are hard* and mostly rigid ...

March 27 (UPI) --To make wearable electronics, one group of researchers in China has developed a 3D printer that deposits electronic fibers onto fabrics. Most current methods for the production of ...

As 3D-printed architecture continues to grow in popularity, architects and designers are finding more and more creative uses for the cutting-edge tech. A new project by Studio RAP is the latest ...

We’re impressed to see the continued flow of new and interesting ways to utilize 3D printing despite its years in the hacker limelight. At the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon [Billie Ruben] came to us from ...

A new concept vehicle from engineering firm EDAG utilizes uncommon construction and design to illustrate the potential future for lightweight sports cars. Called the EDAG Light Cocoon, the concept ...

We apologize, this video has expired. A new type of 3-D printer created by Disney Research allows layers of soft fabric to be used instead of plastic or metal. The result is objects that are as soft ...
