3D Printing Basics New series! Hackaday had complained that getting started with 3D printing was still too hard, so over the next weeks I’ll be releasing a 10-part series that covers all the knowledge about 3D printing that is too easily taken for granted.

Watch a 3D printed a Giant Octopus, the whole 3d print took 11 hours. This was printed in blue with Hatchbox PLA Filament.

Are large printers worth it, even if they aren’t expensive? Take a look at this 3D Printing video and see!

Take a look at this quick 3D Printing video. DIY printer!

This video shows how precise you can get with laser technology and 3D printing. Check out the 3D Printing trade association as well

Guess where this 3D Printing Video is from?

Aurora Labs’ alpha prototype of the RMP1 next generation high speed, high throughput additive manufacturing technology that will make 3D printing a real possibility for mass part production.

\ According to this 3D Printing Video, we can use laser-generated, hologram-like 3D images flashed into photosensitive resin. This is what the researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, along with collaborators at UC Berkeley, the University of Rochester, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have discovered. The researchers learned that they can build complex […]

What tools should you have near your 3D Printer? Watch this quick video and see what our friend thinks.

A home-building newbie is earning headlines for the Russian-designed 3D-printer technology that it used to erect a small house near Moscow in just a day. Apis Cor boasts it can quickly put up the walls of many more such dwellings while cutting costs and eliminating the need for human labor until it’s time for finishing […]

Listen to this quick 3D printing video about how one firm is doing more and more with 3D Printed auto parts

From idea through modeling to printing and installing, this video gives a glimpse into what’s involved in 3d printing our new projector mount. OpenScad used for modeling, RepetierHost and Cura used for slicing into gcode, Wanhao Dupicator i3 (prusa clone) used for printing. While the whole project didn’t take an actual minute, the 3D Printing […]

Believers herald 3D Printing as a revolutionary and disruptive technology, but how will these printers truly affect our society? Beyond an initial novelty, 3D Printing could have a game-changing impact on consumer culture, copyright and patent law, and even the very concept of scarcity on which our economy is based. From at-home repairs to new […]

Keri and Alesia enter seeking $100,000 for 10% of the business. They show some samples and how their software works, then they hand out samples of each Shark as a superhero. The Sharks love them! They tell the Sharks about how they learned about 3D modeling and marketing. They are not at market yet. It’s […]

At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT), Christopher Williams heads the effort to further advance 3-D printing–known among engineers as additive manufacturing–with copper, a widely used conductor in electronics. Williams is using a process called binder jetting in which an inkjet printer selectively jets glue into a bed of copper powder, layer-by-layer. The printed […]
