The world of digital manufacturing is moving toward a stage where physical and digital boundaries are becoming less visible.

There's nothing quite like crafting your own gear, and 3D printers make that possible on a whole new level. There are plenty of useful 3D printer projects that can level up your home, and of course ...

Traditional subtractive manufacturing involves cutting away material to create a product, while 3D printing is an additive process that builds objects by adding material layer by layer. A 3D-printed ...

Murray Leinster’s short story Things Pass By, published in 1945, includes what may be the first description of 3D printers: But this constructor is both efficient and flexible. I feed magnetronic ...

Using a robot to make a retro gaming system is just cool.

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

The technology behind 3D printing is growing fast. If you're thinking about joining the world of color 3D printing, there are ...

3D printing is in the middle of a transition period from a novelty hobby into a serious home manufacturing solution. Early adoption was helped along by some of the best sites for free 3D printing ...

Sci-fi devices become real all the time, and we'd argue the 3D printer is one of those. I distinctly remember as a teen when these things were becoming popular, and we all thought people would be ...

I have several 3D printers, and I’ve always been satisfied with using either Repetier or Marlin on all of them. There are a few other firmware versions that could run on my hardware, but those two ...

A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...
