In contrast to the success of their molten-plastic cousins, paste extrusion 3D printers have never really attained much popularity. This is shame because, as the [Hand and Machine] research group at ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

The next frontier of desktop 3D printing is multi-material and multi-color prints. Right now, you can buy a dual toolhead for a Lulzbot, and dual toolheads from other companies exist, although they ...

Zortrax research and development team has reached a major milestone on the road towards 3D printing smart, composite components out of two high performance polymers on the Endureal, their dual ...

AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) is a spin-off company from the University of Rostock with the aim to drastically reduce the cost of the additive manufacturing (AM) of metal parts. In cooperation with ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

Should you buy an industrial 3D printer or several desktop printers? Learn about the advantages of both types of FDM printers.

Didyou know that 3D printing generates a lot of plastic waste? This mayseem odd at first, but every enthusiast knows the amount of plasticthat gets wasted before any successful printing is done.
