Researchers in Kiel have developed a laser-based 3D printing process for glass. It significantly simplifies 3D printing with ...

We’re all familiar with FDM 3D printing, and some of the more well-heeled or adventurous among us may even have taken a faltering step into the world of SLA printers. But for most of us there’s a step ...

If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Scientists at Switzerland's ETH Zurich research center are working on changing that, though, with a new and reportedly better glass-printing technique. Although it already is possible to 3D-print ...

(Nanowerk News) 3D printing today is linked with innovation. Every day more products are created through 3D printing, from tiny teeth to massive jet engines. Now, at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...

A project at NIST has developed a new way to monitor and assess 3D printing of metals. Finding and correcting defects inadvertently created inside a 3D printed part is one of the biggest challenges ...
