3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, is a recent innovation that has fast become one of the most important manufacturing methods. In this process, products are constructed ...

Without a doubt one of the coolest new things to do in the tech world is 3D printing. People have 3D printed a variety of objects from simple toys to more complex guns that actually work. 3D printers ...

Conventional 3D printers are limited to one material and one material only: plastic. The type of plastic may very, but its inherent stiffness makes it less-than-ideal for printing anything delicately.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forget what you know about conventional 3D printers, because a Seattle-based company has unveiled what appears to be the next generation of 3D construction. Called the Glowforge 3D laser printer, this ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
