Impossible Objects has designs to speed up the 3D printing revolution. The company announced on Tuesday its latest industrial 3D printer, CBAM-2, which is designed to be 10 times faster than the ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

There are about a dozen metrics by which I judge 3D printers when testing them, including speed, noise and the materials with which they can print. But, none of the latter attributes compares in ...

(Nanowerk News) With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but ...

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 ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

Since 3D printing went mainstream, there's been much buzz about a future filled with 3D printed buildings, cars, and airplanes. That could start to change with Autodesk’s Project Escher, a software ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of ...

Hackers and makers see the desktop 3D printer as something close to a dream come true, a device that enables automated small-scale manufacturing for a few hundred dollars. But it’s not unreasonable to ...

Aleph Objects, the Loveland 3D printer manufacturer that laid off most of its workers last month because of cash-flow problems, has found a buyer, the company announced Friday afternoon. Grant ...
