Abstract: We address the problem of object arrangement and scheduling for sequential 3D printing. Unlike the standard 3D printing, where all objects are printed slice by slice at once, in sequential ...

Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness and transparency, on a pixel-by-pixel basis while using commonly available ...

Abstract: Ensuring stable object placement is crucial to prevent objects from toppling over, breaking, or causing spills. When an object makes initial contact to a surface, and some force is exerted, ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

If you run a commercial print company, you've probably asked or been asked this question: "Should we be using HubSpot?" It’s a common inquiry from print service providers (PSPs) aiming to scale their ...

When 3D printing was invented more than 40 years ago, it was a linear process, and its workflow remains essentially unchanged. Typically, users decide on a geometry to print, without precise knowledge ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...

A young innovator in Senegal recycles plastic into 3D printer filament — making tools and garden gear, while promoting climate action and waste reduction. Army reveals the real cost of Trump’s ...

The result of a new method for printing objects using novel resins provide flexibility, strength and complexity akin to what is found in nature. Credit: The University of Texas at Austin. Scientists ...

Researchers developed a fast, precise new 3D printing method that seamlessly merges soft and hard properties into a single object using different colors of light. (Nanowerk News) Inspired by how ...

When seeing a story from MIT’s Lincoln Labs that promises 3D printing glass, our first reaction was that it might use some rare or novel chemicals, and certainly a super-high-tech printer. Perhaps it ...
