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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What Is Slicer Software and How Does it Enable 3D Printing? 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing, works by creating objects layer-by-layer based on a digital computer-aided design (CAD) model ...

Anisoprint (Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg) a manufacturer of continuous fiber 3D printing systems, has launched an update for its proprietary slicing software. The new and improved Aura 2.1 Premium is ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Conceptually, FDM 3D printing is quite a simple process: you define a set of volumes in 3D space, then the slicing software takes a cut through the model at ever-increasing heights, works out where ...

We all love 3D printing, but printing anything that has an overhang requires support, right? Maybe not. [Create Inc] has a video showing some 3D prints that seem to hang impossibly in the air — not ...
