Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to ...

When most people think of 3D printing, they think of fused deposition modelling (FDM), wherein an object is built up in successive layers of molten thermoplastic. A new computer system is able to ...

MIT researchers have developed VisiPrint, an AI‑powered preview tool that visualises how 3D‑printed objects will look before fabrication, aiming to reduce material waste caused by discarded prototypes ...

What I intended to do with my 3D printer, I can’t remember. I vaguely remember wanting to print big things, but I was unsure what those might be. More abstractly, I was hoping the printer might ...

AI-enhanced body scans will produce more-precise computer-assisted design (CAD) files that precisely match a patient’s anatomy, resulting in simplified procedures, decreased operating room time, and ...
