Despite the excitement that 3-D printing has generated, its capabilities remain rather limited. It can be used to make complex shapes, but most commonly only out of plastics. Even manufacturers ...

Take 3-D printing, which has been around since the 1980s. It was originally dismissed as a niche technology with limited usefulness—perhaps the occasional custom design or art piece.

After several months of waiting, they’ve finally announced FibreSeeker, the first personal continuous carbon fibre 3D printer ...

With the array of 3-D models now available for public use, designers can easily incorporate historic artifacts into their projects and creative endeavors, writes Antonio Pacheco for Archinect.

A notable example is NVDA’s partnership with HP ’s HPQ 3D Printing division, with the latter using NVIDIA’s AI tool, Modulus, to boost efficiency and accuracy in manufacturing.

Now 3-D printing and body-scanning technology have lent a little bit of voice to a relatively young artifact: the more than 3,000-year-old mummy of an ancient Egyptian named Nesyamun.

The technique can produce finer layers than standard 3-D printing, and is faster, too. “Instead of creating one layer in minutes by extrusion, we can do it in seconds” with stereolithography ...
