When the 3D printer gives up, don’t wait for the experts. Here are solutions to the most common problems: layers failing to attach, stringing, and overheating. Sometimes there isn’t the time or money ...

It's looking more and more certain that 3D printing has a serious safety problem. Though largely overlooked in the tech press, the problem is pervasive and could impact millions of students, patients, ...

This is not meant to discourage you from joining the growing 3D printing community. It’s a practical look at what beginners ...

A research team has found that island scanning, a printing scheme commonly used to prevent stresses from degrading or destroying 3D-printed metal parts, may not be a cure after all. Laser powder bed ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

3D printing was first introduced in 1984 by Charles W. Hull. The inventor developed computer-aided software that designs and creates three-dimensional objects. After more than 30 years, 3D printing ...

Inexpensive 3D printers often have a problem called "warpage," in which objects printed by them tend to curl up as they harden. Now, however, scientists have harnessed the power of warpage to create ...

Rich Lehrer knew that 3D printers could do more than spit out keychains and Yoda heads. In 2013, he led a group of eighth graders at the Brookwood School in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts that ...

Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC CVUT) developed a filtering facepiece 3 that was 3D printed by HP's Multi Jet Fusion printer. According to the Hubs Supply Chain ...
