This study hopefully paves the way for hybrid 3D printing technology that will enable us to get the best of both worlds -- metal and plastic combined.

It is estimated that the global 3D printing market will have a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% from 2021 to 2028, reaching market size of $62.79 billion. Researchers find a novel ...

Filament producer Polymaker (Shanghai, China) has launched a new line of polycarbonate-based materials called Polymaker PC, which is specifically designed for extrusion-based desktop 3D printers. The ...

Airwolf 3D begins shipping its JRx hot-end for its AW3D series of 3D Printers. This new hot-end enables printing with engineering-grade plastics like Nylon.

While it's possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that ...

They 3D print the traces with conductive PLA filament directly onto a base plastic sheet, and then vacuum form the whole thing. The filament is happy to deform when heated – it’s printer filament.

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 ...

How many plastic spoons, knives, and forks do you think we throw away daily? [Stefan] noted that the compostable type is made from PLA, so why shouldn’t you be able to recycle it into 3D prin… ...

3D printing transforms spools of plastic filament or trays of resin into physical objects. 3D printing is quite literally out of this world.

3D printing needs to mature before it is considered an alternative to injection molding for large-volume production jobs.

A 3D printing lab situated next to the operating room ready to churn out individualized implants designed from patient data at a moment’s notice is still a long way off.
