In 2024, the University of Maine unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which can print objects up to 29 meters long.
If an object that's composed of two types of material is going to fail, the break will usually occur at the interface where the two meet. A new type of light-activated 3D printing resin addresses that ...
While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...
If you're curious about 3D printers but don't want to spend upwards of $1,000 (or more) for a fancy name-brand model, Amazon has a few enticing offers for Prime members to check out. For a limited ...
For a couple of years now, I've been trying to find an excuse to buy a decent 3D printer. Friends and fellow Ars staffers who had them would gush about them at every opportunity, talking about how ...
Do you like high-detail 3D models intended for resin printing, but wish you could more easily print them on a filament-based FDM printer? Good news, because [Jacob] of Painted4Combat shared a tool he ...
What if we could reduce the cost of a photopolymer resin-based 3D printer by taking out the most expensive components — and replacing it with something we already have? A smartphone. That’s exactly ...
While the Adventurer 5M might have a smaller build size of 8.66 x 8.66 x 8.66 inches, it is enclosed, which means that the outside air, in the form of wind and humidity, won’t affect the build, giving ...
University of East Anglia researchers have made a significant breakthrough in ocular device technology with the introduction of a novel resin for 3D printing intraocular devices. This innovation has ...
3D printers, despite sounding futuristic and high-class, are a much more accessible product than people may realize. If you’re after the best 3D printer under $500, it’s surprisingly easy to find. 3D ...
