BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

Jumping into 3D printing feels like unlocking a new creative superpower. You can design something on the screen, hit print, and hours later, you hold the physical object in your hands. Even though it ...

An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer, straight to my doorstep for a few hundred bucks. What a time to be alive. Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing (DLP) and especially stereolithography ...

Making a very simple prosthetic arm can cost $1,000 for the materials alone. But 3D scanning and printing can shrink the cost to as little as $4. In Guatemala, where some families might earn $50 in a ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

Lithium batteries are at the heart of electric cars, phones, wearable electronics, energy storage, and so much more powering our increasingly digital and cord-free lives. It's no wonder they are big ...

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, ...
