How to get ideas for objects or products you can design & 3D Print There are a number of ways to get ideas for what you can 3D print yourself. You can spend time just thinking and hoping the ideas will naturally come out of your brain. Or, you can use techniques to get ideas […]
Do you own or are you considering buying a Makerbot or another similar desktop 3D printer? That’s great—there are a ton of quality options at relatively low-cost entry points to help you get started with 3D printing for rapid prototyping. But while desktop 3D printers are great for certain things, they also pose some limitations

This article is a part of 3D Engineer’s “Innovation in 3D Printing” series where inventors, innovators, and companies can submit articles about the innovations they are bringing to the world of 3d printing. Introduction After more than three years of R&D, Structo has developed a truly unique method of SLA printing for the industrial 3D
Printing has come a long way in a short amount of time. Not long ago, we were happy to print out documents on our dot-matrix printers, tearing off the perforated sheets. Now we can print objects using 3-D printers. Although 3-D printers are still developing, the basic models are affordable, widely available and simple to
8 Amazing Creations You Can Make With 3D Printing Read More »
3D printing involves creating a three-dimensional object from a digital model that has been built on a computer. Design instructions are sent in a file from the computer to the 3D printer, where it selects the correct materials and “prints” them together layer by layer to form the object. What Is 3D Printing? 3D printing
3D Printing in the Future: 10 ways our lives will be impacted by 3D printers 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that allows users to create physical objects by printing them layer by layer using materials such as plastic, metal, or ceramic. The field of 3D printing has seen significant growth and
3D printing is already having a significant impact on the way industries conduct business, and the technology is rapidly developing to further its benefits on many aspects of our lives. Automotive Industry 3D printing is having a noticeable influence on the automotive industry. Companies like BMW and Jaguar are utilizing 3D printers to create sturdy
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is a process where an object is created layer by successive layer to form a whole. So far 3D printers have created things from plastic, resin, metal, and even chocolate! As the technology advances so will the capability to print from other materials and combinations of materials. This will have
