Using a 3D printer to make high quality parts is a great way to improve the look and appeal of any project. If you want to replicate something exactly, though, you’ll need either a very good set of ...

3D printers are at a bit of a crossroads – after a lot of initial promise, they seem to have hit a roadblock between early adopter zeal and general consumer interest. A new entrant called Flux should ...

The future, as they say, is already here, but it’s just not very evenly distributed. To wit: the Zeus, a 3D printer that can scan and copy objects and, using the Internet, “fax” objects to other ...

3D printers tend to blow up on Kickstarter. And one of the latest, the Peachy Printer, is no exception. The project's raised almost C$500,000, about ten times its original goal. Peachy is an ...

3D printing may finally make its way into the home. The aptly named 3D printer scanner, Zeus, may be a game changer in getting 3-dimensional printers into the consumer market. Invented at the ...

3D printing has been a huge boon to home fabricators that want to create trinkets whenever they want. While all that plastic isn’t great for the environment, it’s already proven itself as a great ...

I recently covered rapid prototyping and 3D printers (see Tap New Technologies To Produce Practically Perfect Prototypes). So what would the best complement be to a low cost 3D printer? How about a ...

It seems 3D printers have been around for ages and still we don’t have a good solution for turning physical 3D objects into digital ones. Yes, 3D scanners exist, but the OpenScan is the best 3D ...

A new open source 3D printer called the Ares has launched this week over on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website with the aim of raising $8000 to make the jump into production. In the first five days ...

It requires significant effort to create 3D models from scratch. Fortunately, 3D scanners have greatly expedited this process, saving valuable time and energy that would otherwise be spent on manual ...

3D printers, 3D scanners and robotics are usually more than enough on their own to get us interested in something, but a team of researchers at Drexel University have played one other big trump card ...

Explore the Einstar 3D Scanner and see how it combines precision with ease of use! Perfect for scanning objects for 3D ...
