If you have access to a 3D printer and are looking to design or make wearables, fashion accessories or cosplay items you may be interested in an interesting way of creating unique designs by 3D ...

3D printing is pushing into all sorts of areas, allowing for rapid prototyping of plastic and metal components, circuit boards and even putting putting an alternative spin on food production — or ...

The typical, consumer-grade 3D printer creates objects made of thin layers of stiff, brittle plastic fused together. Of course, hard plastic isn’t ideal for all projects, so that’s why researchers ...

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

HAX-alumnus Electroloom is builidng a “3D printer for fabric,” spraying a solution containing a polyester/cotton blend on a template to create clothing without seams. Electroloom co-founder Marcus ...

Freelancer Michael Franco writes about the serious and silly sides of science and technology for CNET and other pixel and paper pubs. He's kept his fingers on the keyboard while owning a B&B in Amish ...

March 27 (UPI) --To make wearable electronics, one group of researchers in China has developed a 3D printer that deposits electronic fibers onto fabrics. Most current methods for the production of ...

When you enter the flagship store of Shamraf, you would confuse the mannequins wearing its quintessential 3D printed fabrics for a beautiful painting hanging on a wall. The confusion may be partly due ...

3D printers usually work by extruding long strings of molten plastic onto a surface. When MIT Media Lab researchers spotted a broken printer squirting out plastic erratically, they had an idea: By ...

A new type of 3-D printer created by Disney Research allows layers of soft fabric to be used instead of plastic or metal. The result is objects that are as soft and pliable as normal 3-D printed ...
