Have you ever looked at a hot glue gun and wondered if it could do more than just stick things together? What if it could actually create something entirely new, layer by layer, just like a 3D printer ...

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: water always finds a way in. That’s particularly problematic for things like wire splices in damp environments, something that no amount of electrical tape ...

If you’re building a 3D printer, the most complicated part is the extruder. This part uses a series of gears to pull plastic filament off of a spool, heats it up, and squirts it out in a manner ...

Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

No, you're not looking at a dessert gone horribly wrong -- that might just be the future of synthetic organ transplants. Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a genetic "glue" ...

We have featured in many different types of 3D printer over the years here on Geeky Gadgets but one Instructables user by the name of “ W1ll14m “ has used the Lego EV3 Mindstorms system and a glue gun ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...
