3D printing is something that most technology and art enthusiasts are interested in, but everyday people don’t need it. This is the widespread notion everyone has about 3D printing these days, but ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

LOS ANGELES — As 3D printing creeps into more and more projects, making product production more accessible, I’ve always wondered how we can make product design more accessible. How can the average ...

Castor software evaluates parts for whether they would be better and more cost-effective 3D printed. Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) makes industrial parts faster, cheaper, and better, but not ...

Historically, manufacturers and online retail companies have been forced to limit customization options based on quantity and scale. To produce an original design or custom option, manufacturers would ...

The promises of 3D printing can’t be fully recognized with legacy manufacturing design technologies. That’s the driving principle behind New York City tech startup nTopology’s generative design ...

Beyond the ever-dropping cost of 3D printers themselves, one of the biggest perceived barriers of entry to 3D printing is the supposed difficulty of the design process. And, make no mistake: if you're ...

Autodesk’s Netfabb, an industrial additive software used to optimize CAD files for 3D printing, now supports operations carried out by the Sinterit Lisa. Hailed as one of the most affordable selective ...

With increased confidence in 3D printing, more design engineers are looking to see where new processes could add a competitive edge. While cost associated with 3D printing is reducing, metal printing ...
