MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

Most 3D printers are designed to produce plastic parts, such as prototypes, housings for electronics, or decorative objects. Building a working electric machine is far more complicated. Unlike a ...

The tech behind 3D printing has come an extremely long way. The additive manufacturing technique, which generally involves depositing one layer at a time, has gone from relatively crude rapid ...

With the newer generation of quick and reliable 3D printers, we find ourselves with the old collecting dust and cobwebs. You might pull it out for an emergency print, that is if it still works… In the ...

D printing can be used for making all sorts of objects, including the cylinder head on your car, but how long would it last?

Selected from more than 200 submitted concepts, the winning design will inspire the full-size Local Motors prototype vehicle that will be printed at IMTS in September 2014 PHOENIX--(BUSINESS ...

How additive manufacturing can “build” a fully functioning linear motor. The special AM machine that was devised to handle the diverse materials needed for the motor build. The assembly and ...
