For 3D printing a part or a functional prototype, all you need to get correct is the design file. The most popular design file format is the STL file. And although it’s not very tricky to create high ...

Fast-forward a decade, and the world of 3D printing has evolved tremendously. Printers are faster, smarter, and more refined.

Despite many people understanding the concept of 3D printing, few know the 3D design and printing process well enough to try it out for themselves and take the step towards creating physical objects ...

[3DJake] likes putting textures on 3D prints using things like patterned build plates and fuzzy skin. However, both of those techniques have limitations. The build plate only lets you texture the ...

Have you ever spent hours perfecting a 3D-printed design, only to struggle with attaching screws or bolts securely? It’s a frustrating experience that many makers and engineers face. Threads are ...

Veteran-led Kupros has figured out a way to dramatically speed up the prototyping process for 3D-printed electronics.

Welcome back to The Fab Lab. In the video above we're going to do another practical 3D printing project. This time what we're going to look at building end caps for containers. Today we're going to ...

Rich Lehrer knew that 3D printers could do more than spit out keychains and Yoda heads. In 2013, he led a group of eighth graders at the Brookwood School in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts that ...

Have you ever considered how awesome it would be to 3D print your very own miniatures? We're talking proxies for Star Wars Legion and Warhammer to your custom D&D monsters or heroes via something like ...
