It has been ascertained that 3D-printing technology is to cure light-activated plastic via laser, building up layers one at a time in a time-consuming process. However, a new way of accelerating this process has been found by a tech start-up Daqri by making use of a 3-dimensional hologram. The printer works by projecting a 3D…

Conventionally, magnets are made using an injection molding process. The whole process is fine as long you need to manufacture enough of magnets to justify building a mold. However, scientists often require only a few in particular shapes for research or sensors. Thanks to a team at Vienna University of Technology, 3D printed magnets are…

Visiting the well-known dazzling structure “Walt Disney Concert Hall”, you will find out that it was designed by a computer system and built by automated robotic arms. A London-based startup, ‘Ai Build’, plans to pave the way to 3D printing on large scales. The industrial-grade Kuka robotic arms are being equipped with artificial intelligence and…

3D printers cost a lot of money in the early days of additive manufacturing. Even a few years back, it required a lot of effort to find a 3D printer for less than $1,000. However, PocketMaker is a young company that wants to change this by bringing 3D printing to the masses. So, in order…

3D printing has established time after time over the past few years that it is the chief prototyping technology. However, we are still waiting for the next commercial step. Primarily, 3D printing is about producing completely new and distinctive objects and thus, ever since the very start, large scale (but customizable) manufacturing has been the…

Although the “KAYRYS” is one of the most amazing 3D printed drones we have seen yet, this is no toy. It has been designed to provide medical supplies on the scene of an accident or major disaster and hence it serves as powerful a purpose as its aesthetics would hint at. A new tech startup…

3D printing is about to unveil a digital design revolution as per the architect James Gardiner. According to him, it will alter our world the way the industrial revolution did in the 18th and 19th centuries. He has contagious enthusiasm for the technology. Like he said: “Using 3D-printed wax moulds for concrete components, we will…

Curta was considered as the best pocket calculator, a mobile tool to calculate simple mathematical equations, up to the arrival of the electric calculator. Owing to the 3D-printing skill of Charlotte, North Carolina-based software engineer Marcus Wu, the cylindrical, slider-based Curta lives again. While talking to Digital Trends, Wu told: “When I first got my…

A patent for an innovative 3D printer that as rumour has it is capable of printing objects of virtually any shape out of synthetic diamonds has been filed by US aerospace giant Lockheed Martin. This machinery would be largely utilized for creating items like drill bits, however it might also be used for making customized…

Nearly anyone enthusiastic enough to spend 100 dollars can buy some sort of 3D printing device as the 3D printers are getting cheaper and cheaper with every passing day. Numerous plans and designs for cool toys and gadgets are being open sourced for people to use along with all of this mass availability hitting the…

The small family-run firms, tool-and-die shops, used to be plentiful in Detroit. They manufactured specialized tools and gadgets in order to cut and shape metal in the automotive and other industries. Several such firms have gone out of business, however their modern equivalent is 3D printing, an industry that may perhaps thrive in Detroit with…
