D bioprinting uses living cells as "ink" to create functional tissues. Discover how this technology is transforming medicine ...

It can be frustrating to prepare your 3D model, start 3D printing, only to realize that the first few layers of the print are sagging or just plain messy.

You may have heard about people making paintings on a grain of rice, but is it possible to create something inside a living ...

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium mo… ...

This applies the texture across more of the part, and looks less obviously 3D printed in the process. Minimizing bed adhesion also makes parts much easier to remove, which has obvious benefits for ...

3D printing technology is advancing very rapidly, and today, it can be used to print many more things than most people realize. In this article, we look at ten innovative examples of what's ...

The world's largest 3D-printed construction project is currently underway in Qatar. The effort involves printing a pair of ...

Bioengineers print 3D implants with layered cells destined to become distinct combinations of tissue, like bone and cartilage. The scaffolds degrade over time to leave the natural tissues in place.

Now the British industrial designer thinks he's found the answer: 3D-printing. His agency, Layer, is using 3-D digital data to map biometric information.

A key factor in stack 3D printing is the ability to separate the layers easily once the printing is complete. To facilitate this, maintaining a 0.2 mm gap between models is essential.

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a 3D printer that can print LEDs in layers -- and it could one day print contact lenses that incorporate heads-up displays.
