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 ...

For the cost, nothing came close to the Creality Hi in 2025 - and after review it went straight into my 3D printer guide.

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

Last week I went to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) and it was incredible. This is a toy store for machinists and showcases the best of industrial automation. But one of the ...

Xiamen University and UC Berkeley develop laser-assisted 3D printing for high-resolution, free-standing thermoset struct ...

If you already have a 3D printer or two, you likely don't need the Bambu Lab A1 Combo unless you're looking to break into color printing. If you're already using a different style of machine, like a ...

If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...

With various space agencies and private companies committed to setting up long-term human outposts on the Moon, the problem of building the habitats and other structures goes from thought experiments ...

At Nagoya University, researchers have tested heat-resistant and recyclable metal alloys for automotive and aerospace ...
