For a certain kind of intricate, highly-detailed manufacturing, there’s really no substitute for a resin 3D printer, and it’s therefore unfortunate that they require so many poisonous chemicals. The ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The sheer impossibility of recommending a single "best" 3D printing filament can best be explained by this thought experiment. Imagine using ...

As someone in the print industry, the phrase "data breach" has taken on a terrifying new dimension. For decades, the commercial printing industry viewed security through the lens of physical access: ...

Digital books have grown in popularity over the past decade, but more Americans still read books in print than in digital formats. Overall, 75% of U.S. adults say they have read all or part of at ...

Printing is still a necessity for many businesses, even with the increase in online and digital communications. As business owners evaluate how to reduce their carbon footprint and run the most ...

Artificial intelligence has become a hot topic across every industry, and the printing and packaging sector is no different. “AI touches every single division within the organization,” Nathan Safran, ...

Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D ...

There's not a single magic setting that improves 3D printing projects, because it's all about getting the basics right and ensuring a 3D print project is modeled well and comes from a reputable source ...

The new organic-inorganic hybrid resin allows laser 3D printed structures to be converted into transparent silica glass at lower temperatures than conventional methods (650-700°C) and with ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of going to the time and trouble of building one, you can simply repurpose a ...

A mosquito’s proboscis — the long, thin bit that pierces the skin — makes an excellent nozzle for fine 3-D printing. The proboscis’ unique geometry and mechanics make it well-suited for the task, ...
