3D printing, or more accurately, additive manufacturing, is more than just a fad, and the automotive industry is providing more and more examples of this. The most obvious is Czinger, whose 21C ...

Today’s lower cost 3D printers tend to be priced in the US$200-300 range, with more competent options priced a bit higher in the US$400-800 range. While pricing has continually dropped, we still haven ...

3D printers are currently among the most impressive devices you can buy for at-home use, and they're the closest thing we have to replicators from Star Trek. These desktop mini-factories can make all ...

Not every accessory can be bought at a store.

ESP-Blast centers on an ESP32 board serving as the flight controller, a role usually handled by dedicated flight-control ...

While working on a project that involved super-thin prints, [Julius Curt] came up with selective ironing, a way to put designs on the top surface of a print without adding any height. For those ...
