So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

A new two-photon polymerization technique combines a relatively low-cost laser emitting nanosecond pulses with a femtosecond laser at reduced power to enable 3D printing of complex high-resolution ...

Columbia researchers demonstrate how laser-cooked 3D printed food can achieve realistic textures using a three-course meal.

D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can ...

Researchers have developed a new method for creating parts from a thermoset material without relying on any additional ...

Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in ...
