It's looking more and more certain that 3D printing has a serious safety problem. Though largely overlooked in the tech press, the problem is pervasive and could impact millions of students, patients, ...

When the 3D printer gives up, don’t wait for the experts. Here are solutions to the most common problems: layers failing to attach, stringing, and overheating. Sometimes there isn’t the time or money ...

Imagine waking in the middle of the night to the sound of your 3D printer, printing away. You know you didn't request a print. In fact, you're sure of it, because your previous project is still on the ...

Fast-forward a decade, and the world of 3D printing has evolved tremendously. Printers are faster, smarter, and more refined.

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

Form Labs recently announced the launch of the Fuse 1, a desktop SLS printer that will print all your parts using nylon powder and a laser. This a fundamentally different method of 3D printing as ...

3D printing was first introduced in 1984 by Charles W. Hull. The inventor developed computer-aided software that designs and creates three-dimensional objects. After more than 30 years, 3D printing ...

Inexpensive 3D printers often have a problem called "warpage," in which objects printed by them tend to curl up as they harden. Now, however, scientists have harnessed the power of warpage to create ...

Production of the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe was about to begin late last summer in Arlington, Texas, when engineers made a last-minute design change to the tailgate-mounted spoiler. The move threatened to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An author, speaker, and executive, I explore the world's industries. The ongoing, much-lamented semiconductor shortage continues ...

The existing bottleneck in efficiently miniaturizing components for quantum computers could be eased with the help of 3D ...
