How the development of several versions of a medical device can be drastically accelerated using additive manufacturing during the prototype stage. This includes 'multi-typing', the design of parallel ...

While it’s the ideal choice for mass production, injection molding is simply no good for prototyping. The molds are expensive and time-consuming make, so unless you’ve got the funding to burn tens of ...

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

The 3D printing community can be roughly divided into two groups: the high technology and the accessible technology sectors. Machine designers have embraced the high technology side for their work, ...

Quite often when objects are being 3D printed, they have to include supportive structures that are subsequently cut off and discarded. A new print bed, however, is designed to minimize or even ...
