A team of scientists has unveiled a method for 3D printing that allows manufacturers to create custom-made objects more economically and sustainably. University of Florida engineers have developed a ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature. The ...

This month, IPI is completing the first year of a three-year research project aimed at building a foundational understanding of how museums are creating, collecting, and consuming 3D printed objects.

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Joe Grantham is a contributor from the UK with a degree in Classical Studies. His love for gaming is only rivaled by a deep passion for medieval history, which often seeps into his articles. With over ...

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...
