Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

Not all 3D scanning is alike, and the right workflow can depend on the object involved. [Ding Dong Drift] demonstrates this in his 3D scan of a project car. His goal is to design custom attachments, ...

Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...

DEARBORN, Mich. & COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EnvisionTEC, a global leader in 3D printers for the in-ear device and monitor market, and 3Shape, a global leader in 3D scanning and CAD/CAM ...

Let’s face it, 3D printing is still considered a hobby by many in the mainstream consumer tech space. We see toys and trinkets on Thingiverse (the first online repository of 3D models) or shared on ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research. Researchers at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials ...
