3D printers are great for hobbyists and companies building concept models, but they have several drawbacks. While you can build objects in all shapes and sizes, they are typically limited to only one ...

NORWALK, Conn. — August 31, 2016 — The innovative architecture of tiny, stainless steel nozzles inside the new Xerox Direct to Object Inkjet Printer has created a new, label-less, on-demand method of ...

Aleph Objects operates with a “Libre Hardware” or “open-source” philosophy. The concept of open-source software – such as Linux – has been around for years, but open-source hardware is relatively new.

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

Since 3D printing went mainstream, there's been much buzz about a future filled with 3D printed buildings, cars, and airplanes. That could start to change with Autodesk’s Project Escher, a software ...

While additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has been a futuristic mainstay of manufacturing for years, it has struggled to scale both speed and size of its production due to ...

Xerox's new printer works on almost any object -- even if it doesn't have a flat surface. Instead of being able to print on paper, it can print on helmets, bottle caps, water bottles, and anything ...

Even if you have little interest in 3-D printing, you’re likely to find Carbon3D’s Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology fascinating. Rather than the time-intensive printing of a ...

The first 3-D printer in space has borne its first object, NASA said Tuesday, and it’s a bit self-fulfilling. The object, a replacement faceplate for the printer’s casing that holds its internal ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

After a series of calibration tests, the first 3-D printer to fly to outer space has manufactured its first potentially useful object on the International Space Station: a replacement faceplate for ...

Like fingerprints, no 3D printer is exactly the same. That's the takeaway from a new study that describes what's believed to be the first accurate method for tracing a 3D-printed object to the machine ...
