We toured several 3D Printer factories, including Prusa Research, Printed Solid, Printerior, and ProtoPasta, to learn how 3D Printing filament is made.

Most 3D printers come with a pretty basic filament holder — often little more than a bar to hang the spool on. [Ivan Miranda]’s 3D printers run bigger spools than most, though, so he ha… ...

These wind-up wooden spool cars are simple to make but will provide hours and hours of fun and entertainment for both the young and old. These little vehicles go together very quickly and easily ...

3D printing produces a lot of plastic. In this article, we look at the issue of plastic waste, how 3D printing might actually reduce that waste, and a really helpful application of repurposing ...

The Mayflower Wind 3D Offshore Model gives the maritime community a realistic and interactive look at the proposed offshore project design, including the wind turbines, substation platforms and ...

It’s gathering “extremely precise” wind measurements using an instrument that sends out 200 laser pulses per second from an aircraft. By documenting how those pulses bounce off aerosol ...

The MSI AE2420 3D boasts impressive performance in an attractive shell, plus 3D technology.

3D printing helps advance wind tunnel testing and shorten design iteration. Gulf Wind Technology dramatically reduced the design and fabrication cycle for wind tunnel models. What previously took ...

Omni3d's AirEnergy 3D printed wind turbine is portable and easy to assemble, but it packs a punch with 300 watts of energy.

So you’ve built a fine kite, taken it to the beach, and let it ride the wind aloft on a spool of line. Eventually it has to come down, and the process of reeling all that line that was so eas… ...
