While it's possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that ...

3D printer owners that are looking for a more eco-friendly alternative to ABS that also provides a more reliable print, may be interested in a new 3D printing filament that is now available to ...

One of the biggest issues that plague the desktop 3D printing world is a pesky nuisance known as warping. Warping is due to Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic (or or ABS as it's commonly ...

Researchers at Duke University have developed an invisibility cloak that can be made by an entry-level 3D printer.

T en years ago, I wrote about the thrill and frustration of being a 3D printing early adopter. I was cutting my teeth on ...

So there you go At least one 3D printer manufacturer isn’t supporting out-of-the-box ABS printing because of some studies.

No matter how good a 3D printer gets, you’re always going to have visible print layers. Even with very high-quality prints with sub-0.1mm layer height, getting a shiny and smooth finish of in… ...

The Strooder is a plastic repurposing machine designed to gobble plastic pellets and spit them back out as filament for use in a 3D printer. It follows in the Filabot's footsteps but squeezes its ...

Joe claims that the plastic he used, the generic Polylac PA-747 ABS fed into most consumer 3D printers, is actually stronger than the more expensive ABS plastic used in a Stratasys printer.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Marine Corps work together to turn waste plastics—such as water bottles, milk jugs, and yogurt containers—into feedstock for 3D printing parts ...
