In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

People often contact me because they want to 3D print a replacement part. The requests have been as mundane as a stove knob or as novel as a replacement crystal for a chandelier. Typically, they are ...

VW has been working with HP and Siemens to scale up 3D metal printing processes to make car parts. Metallic 3D-printed parts weigh half as much as those produced from sheet steel, allowing the ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

3D printing is easier than ever, but that doesn't mean you can take your eye off the ball.

Affordable 3D printers let us turn ideas into physical reality without a big expensive workshop, but with their power came some disadvantages. The nature of FDM printers impart layer lines and nozzle ...

When I was growing up, my dad and I restored classic cars. Combing junkyards for the pieces we needed was a mixture of interesting and frustrating since there was always something you couldn’t find no ...

I’ve written extensively about the rise of 3D printing and its use in countless applications for both production tools and equipment, and finished parts and products. The technology has many benefits, ...
