3D printing

The 32-year-old man is set to face a number of charges after police allege he was involved in the 3D printing of firearms.

A tortoise got a second chance at life after a team of designers made a 3D-printed shell to replace the natural one that had been badly burned in a fire.

The advent of 3D printers supposedly means we can manufacture anything in our homes.

People print all kinds of things at the library—resumes, book reports, even business plans. Colin Consavage, age 10, printed himself a hand.

A new tool makes it possible for people—even novices—can design and build a customized walking robot using a 3D printer and off-the-shelf servo motors.

Scientists have developed a new method to differentiate very weak and short sound waves from longer ones.

Details are still emerging of the scale of destruction on the heritage site of Palmyra in Syria.

In the world of 3D printing, plastic has been the base material of choice for most purposes. Metal, ceramics, and and graphite are also used, but on a smaller scale. Now, that list is being expanded to include transparent glass.

The video above was made at LasX Industries, which made a laser system designed specifically to print artworks.

Designers at Madlab have created a modeling tool that projects light onto a person’s wrist, which can gather data for a 3D printer to make tailored, ergonomic jewellery for the user.

From pasta to ice cream, food is the new terrain for 3D-printing.
