Typically when we think of desktop 3D printers, we either picture an FDM/FFF, extrusion based machine, or an SLA (steterolithographic) machine. Both of these printers have their positive and negatives…

Tools… you gotta love them. They come in just about all shapes and sizes and provide for many potential uses. As for me, I have a toolbox full of tools which I…

For those of you who frequently follow the 3D printing space, the name Olaf Diegel probably rings a bell. He has been the subject of several stories which we have covered,…

I remember when I was a child, my grandfather had a Polaroid camera. For some reason it fascinated me to no end that he could take a photo, and within…

It seems as though this summer has been rather slow compared to several months ago, when it comes to the release and unveiling of new 3D printers. While the winter…

Back in April of last year, we reported that the United States Navy had installed a 3D printer onboard the USS Essex. This was quite a significant move at the…

If 2014 was the year of the 3D printer, then perhaps 2015 is building to be the year of 3D scanning and capture devices. We’ve seen tremendous breakthroughs in 3D…

3D printing is a worldwide phenomenon. We’ve reiterated this over and over again several times in the past couple of years. The technology is one which spreads near and far, not only…

When it comes to makers of quality 3D printers that are capable of printing with a variety of innovative materials, there is no company that we have covered that has received as…

3D modeling and 3D printing have led to the creation of all sorts of unique movie props, scaled down movie replicas and various cosplay designs over the past couple of…

Whether it is through the use of 3D printed medical models, 3D printed titanium implants, or other cutting edge technology, doctors and surgeons in China certainly are no slouches when…

3D printing and 3D scanning go hand in hand. While up until recently, 3D scanning technology was either too expensive, or just did not provide for enough quality in order…

3D printing is a technology that has more potential than most of us give it credit for. Reason being is that it’s a fabrication process which is capable of minute…

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, 3D printing and robotics continue to converge upon one another at a rapid rate. 3D printing has become a go-to solution…

When it comes to diagnosing viruses and bacteria such as hepatitis, West Nile, HIV, herpes, measles and mumps, the developed world is quite efficient at doing so. Typically tests can…

I’m never surprised when people come up to me and ask me what 3D printers can be used for. Although, I tend to laugh a little on the inside, I…

I consider myself part of the “Super Mario Bros. Generation” — a generation characterized by cassette & VHS tapes, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and most importantly the birth of Nintendo mania….

When it comes to ‘making,’ there are those individuals who tend to think inside of the box, and then there are people like Filip Sjöö, who would rather think way…

Within the the desktop 3D printing space, there are some 3D printable open source designs that have virtually become legends among the many. These are objects that can be downloaded and…

When it comes to handling money, we’d like to think that our local and international banks are the ones who know best. Of course this hasn’t been the case all…

When most of us think of Knight Rider, we recall our favorite episodes from the epic David Hasselhoff television series which was produced between 1982 and 1986. In all, NBC…

When we typically talk about the various 3D printers on the market today, the machines which are capable of printing in metal materials are usually the ones which garner the…

The idea of 3D printing with metal composite filaments is an interesting one. In fact, these metal composites have been all the rage as of late as filament manufacturers try…

When we think of 3D printing in the traditional sense, we typically imagine small to large pieces of machinery following computer code in order to fabricate precisely constructed objects. These…
