Ford Motor Company, working with a massive, room-sized 3D printer from Stratasys, is experimenting with large-scale printed plastic parts that are lighter than their cast-metal counterparts.The ...

While small-run production techniques such as 3D printing don’t necessarily scale up well with mass production, there is still a case to be made for these production methods, though the fights ...

Ford has announced it has already begun testing large scale 3D printing. The plan is to make some car parts this way, and allow new personalization options ...

Other forms of 3D printing deposit new material, as if from a big tube of glue. Laser sintering allows multiple parts to be “cast” from a single tray of powder.

When you want to build a large format 3D printer, you can’t just scale up the design of a desktop machine. In an excellent four-part build series (videos after the break), [Dr. D-Flo] takes us ...
