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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Showing off the 3D-printed hydraulics system. (Credit: Indeterminate Design, YouTube) Hydraulics are incredibly versatile, but due to the pressures at which they operate, they are also rather ...

3D printers have become versatile, affordable, and powerful enough to print all sorts of things — including car parts. The process has also developed beyond DIY and prototyping (there are even 3D ...

My 3D printer started as a hobby machine, but it became the repair tool I reach for when small failures threaten useful gear.

Bambu Lab has frustrated a lot of makers with its increasingly closed ecosystem, but there are solid alternatives that ...

The new John Deere tractors rolling off the manufacturing line in Mannheim, Germany, have a first for the company: a metal 3D-printed engine part. The global manufacturer of agricultural and turf ...

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 ...

You don't have to settle for boring audiophile equipment if you have a 3D printer, as you can use it to customize your gear ...
