Imagine a chemical bottle that turns green when its lid is tightly closed and bright red when it is loose, warning you before ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a design and fabrication system that produces 3D printed interactive objects capable of ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Scientists demonstrate a breakthrough in 3D printing that builds complex structures directly onto existing objects in seconds ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

New three-dimensional (3D) models of objects in space have been released by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These 3D models allow people to explore—and print—examples of stars in the early and end ...

Cambridge, MA -- Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices. Accurate print previews are essential so ...
