It's looking more and more certain that 3D printing has a serious safety problem. Though largely overlooked in the tech press, the problem is pervasive and could impact millions of students, patients, ...

When the 3D printer gives up, don’t wait for the experts. Here are solutions to the most common problems: layers failing to attach, stringing, and overheating. Sometimes there isn’t the time or money ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are looking into the reliability of metal 3D printing and its ...

A research team has found that island scanning, a printing scheme commonly used to prevent stresses from degrading or destroying 3D-printed metal parts, may not be a cure after all. Laser powder bed ...

3D printing was first introduced in 1984 by Charles W. Hull. The inventor developed computer-aided software that designs and creates three-dimensional objects. After more than 30 years, 3D printing ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle ...

Inexpensive 3D printers often have a problem called "warpage," in which objects printed by them tend to curl up as they harden. Now, however, scientists have harnessed the power of warpage to create ...

Production of the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe was about to begin late last summer in Arlington, Texas, when engineers made a last-minute design change to the tailgate-mounted spoiler. The move threatened to ...

In order to get tools and materials out of Earth's orbit and to space, NASA has to spend around $54,000 for about 2.2 pounds of material (via ScienceDaily). Because of this, scientists are always ...
