The Midwest RepRap Festival is the best 3D printer con on the planet. In the middle of Indiana, you’ll find the latest advances for CNC hot glue guns and the processes that make squirting filament ...

As anyone who has used an FDM printer can tell you, it’s certainly not the magical replicator it’s often made out to be. The ...

There are some solid choices out there for 3D printers, but we've got some reasons why a resin one is a better buy than FDM.

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

As technology continues to advance, the upgrades to equipment and devices marketed to the public are inevitable. Although the initial hype for 3D printers may have subsided due to high costs and ...

When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then ...
