3D printing is a popular process, though one of the hangups is that parts are typically produced in just one flat color. [Aad] has been working on a simple modification to his Prusa i3 printer, ...

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough to ...

If you're looking to enhance your in-house 3D printing capabilities or just entering the 3D printing sphere through outsourcing services, I'll be teaching a free three-day Design News Focus on ...

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have used a 3D inkjet printer to create a bone-like material and structure that can be used in orthopedic procedures and dental work, and to deliver ...

A new study demonstrates hybrid fabrication of electrochemical electrodes directly onto 3D-printed parts using inkjet printing, enabling rapid and cost-effective creation of custom devices. The ...

We spend a lot of time thinking of how to create 3D objects, but what about being able to print full color graphics on the objects we create? This isn’t just multicolor, this is full-color! Here’s one ...

3D printing has already been put to use in many interesting applications, from large-scale homebuilding to robot hands that are good at Super Mario Bros.—and even creepy materials that can shape-shift ...

Israel-based start-up Xjet plans to bring the world's first direct-metal 3D printer based on jetting technology to market in 2016, according to the Times of Israel. Fellow 3D printing company Objet, ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

Scientists have found a way to use sunflower pollen to develop a 3D printing ink material that could be used to fabricate parts useful for tissue engineering, toxicity testing and drug delivery.

A new high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being printed in real-time. This rendering shows a robot being ...
