A failed 3D print is almost never just bad luck. These are the most common reasons it happens and what you can do to keep it from happening again.

3D shapes aren’t just geometry—they’re a gateway to building spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and early STEM confidence. Through hands-on play, kids connect cubes, cones, and cylinders to the real ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have created a new tool that can catch and correct potential mistakes in real time while ...

Abstract: We propose a novel approach for probabilistic generative modeling of 3D shapes. Unlike most existing models that learn to deterministically translate a latent vector to a shape, our model, ...

Xbox's new "goal post" thumbstick topper joins six other designs for people with disabilities.

Abstract: Electrovibration technology has the potential for seamless integration into ordinary smartphones and tablets to provide programmable haptic feedback. The aim of this work is to seek ...

A new rotational multimaterial 3D printing method enables materials to bend, twist, expand or contract on demand.

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given ...

Once only achievable in the far-fetched imaginations of science fiction writers, 3D printing has gone mainstream. Relatively ...

Harvard researchers have developed 3D-printed muscle-like filaments, enabling robots to achieve flexible, human-like movement with programmed material behavior.

Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

ORNL's new 3D printing tool uses thermal cameras and AI to automatically fix production errors while printing large composite ...
