Those following the news in the 3D printing industry might be aware that the 3D printing of buildings isn't so Sci-Fi as it sounds anymore. Several companies and individuals in China and the US have been known to successfully print 3D construction materials like the walls of houses. Even more, a Slov... [read more >>] 3D printing technology is mostly about the automated creation of three-dimensional objects, but this doesn't mean you can’t take things in your own hands. The 3Doodler is one of the most famous tools that let you achieve this goal. The handheld pen has been accused by some as being no more than... [read more >>] Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have just revealed a material science breakthrough that could change the way buildings are constructed: a class of materials with extremely high degree of stiffness.
In layman terms, a high degree of stiffness means that a material can withstand man... [read more >>] 3D printed buildings became a thing earlier this year, when the first prototype for a working, concrete 3D printer was revealed. Some progress has been done since then, but nothing too major. That's why the new idea from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia is bound to have backers. Th... [read more >>] Even high-resolution, high-precision 3D printers have trouble making prints look as smooth and sleek as the virtual models they sprung from, but a man from the UK says he has a solution for that, and for enabling the printing of energy-conductive objects.
Stephen Mills of the United Kingdom has launched an... [read more >>] 3D printing technology would have probably become faster on its lonesome but, as is often the case, it got a kick in the backside last week, when Google persuaded 3D systems to get a move on.
You see, Google is preparing a modular device that could be called a smartphone, a tablet, a gadget, etc. It depend... [read more >>] The Chinese are among the most reclusive people in the world, and the most possessive, when it comes to natural monuments, artifacts and lore. Even when you factor in that all eastern countries tend to be a bit overprotective of their culture, or tried to be for a large part of human history.
So we suppose... [read more >>] Most vehicles have speed limiters built into them, but there are some cars that come out of the factory without them, and optimized for speed really. They're few, countable on the fingers of a single hand, and have one singular purpose: to enable world records. 3D printing technology is now helping the... [read more >>] Leapfrog is one of the best known makers of 3D printers, which means that when it makes progress, there's a high chance that there aren't many out there who can do better. The Creatr HS 3D printer is the latest evidence to that effect. The HS in the name of the Creatr HS stands for High Speed. Yo... [read more >>] Many ideas from science fiction have been put into practice during the past decade, but there is one that has, so far, eluded us: orbital space stations capable of manufacturing their own parts and, eventually, space ships.
The first real step towards space manufacturing has now been achieved. Funnily enou... [read more >>] |
