Today I’d like to share some tips on one of my favorite functional 3D-printing techniques: adding heat-set inserts. As someone who’s been installing them into plastic parts for years manually ...

Resin 3D printers have a significant advantage over filament printers in that they are able to print smaller parts with more fine ... directly rather than coating plastic with it.

Called bioprinters, these machines use human cells as “ink.” A standard 3-D printer layers plastic to create car parts, for example, or trinkets, but a bioprinter layers cells to form three ...

"If this [waste-made plastic] can now be fed into a 3D printer, can you actually print ... if you had to wait a long time to source these parts and components," said Sahajwalla.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is regularly used on the ground to quickly produce a variety of devices.

A new era of 3D-printing "microfactories" is helping to turn waste plastics into "highly competitive" products fit for use in the construction industry.
