The University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a chemical process that could revolutionize light-driven 3D printing. The University of Texas at Austin Vat photopolymerization, a powerful ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

3D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more. You can 3D-print your own designs using a ...

The speed of light has come to 3D printing. Northwestern University engineers have developed a new method that uses light to improve 3D printing speed and precision while also, in combination with a ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

3D printing "wood" has been with us for quite some time. Back in 2016, I showed how plastic filament infused with wood particles could be used to create objects that had a wood-like texture, could be ...
