Our take on the state of 3D printing, the ways companies are using it today, and how it's going to revolutionize the future of business. Read now 3D printing transforms spools of plastic filament or ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

Fused deposition modeling printing is the most common printing method used in 3D printing. The two key words are "deposition" and "fused". Basically, what an FDM 3D printer does is heat up plastic, ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
