Screws are useful fasteners for 3D prints, but the effectiveness of a screw (not to mention the ease or hassle of insertion) ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

Product developers and engineers make quick work of product designs when they access a manufacturability analysis tool from Protolabs. Protolab’s design for additive manufacturability (DfAM) analysis ...

[Slant 3D] has a useful video explaining some thoughtful CAD techniques for designing 3D printed pins that don’t break and the concepts can be extended to similar features. Sure, one can make pins ...

People often contact me because they want to 3D print a replacement part. The requests have been as mundane as a stove knob or as novel as a replacement crystal for a chandelier. Typically, they are ...

D printers are complex machines with lots of moving parts. When any of these problems start showing up, repairs may no longer ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

3D printing takes another step into automotive production with the collaboration of HP Japan, DMM.com, and Subaru. The additive manufactured car parts were produced using HP Japan’s Jet Fusion 3D ...

A 40-year-old invention that was always too hard to manufacture is now a real object, thanks to MIT researchers and modern 3D ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is rapidly gaining traction in the shipbuilding industry. This innovative technology allows for the creation of complex components and structures by ...
