If your mental image of a 3D-printed object is a monochrome and perhaps slightly lopsided plastic toy, it’s time for an ...

Three collaborating companies have proposed the use of autonomous 3D-printing technologies to monitor and repair the damage to buildings, coral reefs and coastlines that challenging environmental ...

FARGO — Cameron Kiser took a tumble and landed face first on asphalt. The landing was painful, causing his entire face to throb. A few moments later he discovered it was also damaging: His two front ...

A plump piece of farm-fresh chicken leg rested on a pristine surface at Harvard Medical School. Skin on and bone in, it was precisely sliced to barely crack the bone. A robot arm swerved over, scanned ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, have developed a flexible 3D bioprinter that can layer organic material directly onto organs or tissue. Unlike other bioprinting approaches, ...

If a zipper breaks, a 3D printer might not be the first tool one reaches for — but it’s more feasible than one might think.

A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...

Researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying. The technology, which has been tested in the lab, could ultimately be used for ...
