We’re all familiar with FDM 3D printing, and some of the more well-heeled or adventurous among us may even have taken a faltering step into the world of SLA printers. But for most of us there’s a step ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

An artist’s concept of MOONRISE technology in action on the moon. Left, the lunar module ALINA; right, the rover with the MOONRISE technology — with the laser switched on, melting moon dust. LZH Dust ...

What 3D printing innovations came out of CES 2026? Discover new printers from Creality, AtomForm, MetalPrinting and more!

Germany-based companies, 3D-Micromac AG, a provider of laser micromachining systems, and EOS GmbH, an e-Manufacturing group, have teamed up to form a new organization dubbed 3D MicroPrint GmbH. The ...

[Julius Curt] needed to mark acrylic panels with a bit more clarity than the usual way of rastering the surface, so they attempted to 3D print directly to an acrylic sheet, which worked perfectly. The ...

Laser printing of metals has proven itself as a viable manufacturing process. No longer just for "impossible to machine" or waifish parts where material characteristics were the design feature needed ...

Researchers in Germany have created tiny glass pretzels and castles using 3D printing. Although glass plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives, it is notoriously difficult to shape. Making large ...

Bioengineers have shown they can keep densely packed cells alive in lab-grown tissues by creating complex networks of branching blood vessels from templates of 3D-printed sugar. Powdered sugar is the ...

Fans of the kitchen from The Jetsons and food "replicators" from the Star Trek franchise may soon be able to digitally print dinner — and heat it at the touch of a button. And scientists say they ...
