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 […]

This 3D printer makes objects that look, smell, and feel like wood. As 3D Printing Technology gets better and better, more and more applications and materials are being perfected.

The European Space Agency has unveiled plans to “take 3D printing into the metal age” by building parts for jets, spacecraft and fusion projects. Read the full article. Are 3d printed cars and car parts the next metal objects be 3D printed?

Here Lisa Harouni gives her famous primer on 3D Printing. She brings up several examples of 3D Printed technology and provides an excellent overview of the industry.

Fripp Design and Research of the United Kingdom has been churning out as many as 150 prosthetic eyes per hour, thanks to 3D printing, which is multiple times faster than traditional production of prosthetic eyes that uses handpainting. The 3D-printed prosthetic eyes must go through a process before becoming a final product. First, the image […]

Japanese police forces have been using 3D printing for about 3 years mostly to recreate crime scenes and weapons in 3D-printed, interactive models. Recently, they found a new use for the technology: sketch artistry aided by 3D printing! The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department took a sketch of a wanted criminal, used a 3D printer to […]

Skylar Tibbits is shaping the next development, which he calls 4D printing, where the fourth dimension is time. This emerging technology will allow us to print objects that then reshape themselves or self-assemble over time. Think: a printed cube that folds before your eyes, or a printed pipe able to sense the need to expand […]

Here is a fun, easy cartoon that shows what 3D Printing is and how 3D Printing technology works. And the view can see that 3D Printing Communities are being created globally.

After seeing the printer in action, We have came away impressed. As many of you know the printer does not operate the same as other 3D printers. Most printers an extruder that will run on X,Y,Z axes, in the same typical way. However, the Orion Delta is a bit different. It has 3 vertical bars […]

Here the CEO of Mcor Technologies talks about his 3D Printers. He wants to revolutionize 3D Printing with full color and low cost.

This was printed in an hour. A single print from a single file. Look at how complex and integrated this object is. It has many layers and was done quickly for a client’s demand

A new 3D-printed toothbrush called Blizzident looks like “a mouthguard with 600 bristles” and thoroughly cleans teeth in about six seconds. It lasts a year, in contrast with regular toothbrushes that last three months in. To get one of these babies for yourself, you must first have your dentist make a 3D impression of your […]

Will we print what we need on the moon? The European space agency yes….3.5 meters in 60 minutes and a building built in a single week!

Coral reefs are disappearing at a rapid rate around the world as pollution, overfishing, coastal development, and global warming are all playing a significant part in this alarmingly fast decline. In the Persian Gulf, coastal and off shore developments have left the coral reef ecosystems severely damaged in the waters off of Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, […]

Is the law ready for 3D Printing? Does the great legal minds have a good understanding of 3D Printing uses, technology, applications and threats? What will happen when average lawyers attempt to explain 3D Printing Law? Intellectual property, patent protection, digital rights and employee theft are only some of the areas that need to explained […]

Fox News Says forget electric toothbrushes. Using 3D printing, engineers have developed a new kind of toothbrush tailor-made to fit a person’s mouth. All a person must do to brush is bite down. At first glance, the “Blizzident” looks a bit like a hairy pair of dentures. The brush’s makers say it cleans teeth completely […]

Why wait for delivery when you can 3D Print your own food? Actually this technology really helps in remote areas of the world, and remote places such as space, ships, oil rigs, refineries and other places where bringing raw materials and printing food to specifications makes the most sense. Let’s see what kind of 3D […]

3D printing is getting hyped right now, with a front page story in The Economist and a long article in the Times, but we actually think it is underhyped. Even if it fails to meet some of the expectations of its boosters (and that’s not a foregone conclusion), 3D printing will still probably become an […]
