Unlike many hobby 3D printers that require manual adjustments and frequent purging, the U1 automates key steps. It features ...

The next frontier of desktop 3D printing is multi-material and multi-color prints. Right now, you can buy a dual toolhead for a Lulzbot, and dual toolheads from other companies exist, although they ...

An industrial 3D printer hums to life at bicycle maker, Trek. The designers are prototyping a new hand grip of soft rubber layered over a core of hard plastic. Traditionally, the print job would ...

Stratasys introduced the first and only machine that combines color with multi-material 3D printing. Stratasys is shaking up the 3D printing game with today's introduction of the first and only ...

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

3D printers capable of churning out multi-material, multi-colored objects in a single print run can take up quite a bit of office space, and can also cost a small fortune. Take the Objet500 Connex3 ...

As 3D printers shrink in size and price and make their way into more homes, they're starting to bring more of the higher-end functions, like the ability to print objects with multiple materials, down ...

I just mentioned the 3D Systems color ProJet 4500 3D printer. The company has also announced another 3D printer today called the ProJet 5500X. This 3D printer doesn't print in color, but it does print ...

Research on 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing) has increased the accessibility of the technology to the general public. Today you can even buy your own 3D printer, although at a steep ...

When you zoom in on a fractal you find it is made of more fractals. Perhaps that helped inspire the Harvard 3D printers that have various arrays of mixing nozzles. In the video below you can see some ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...
