The US is wrong and metric is best.

Last week I went to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) and it was incredible. This is a toy store for machinists and showcases the best of industrial automation. But one of the ...

The main mechanical tools in a hacker’s shop used to be a drill press and a lathe. Maybe a CNC mill, if you were lucky. Laser cutters are still a rare tool to find in a personal shop, but today’s ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

The last decade has witnessed a huge development in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing when compared with its counterpart, subtractive manufacturing. AM enables rapid prototyping, ease of ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Startup Seurat Technologies Inc., which develops laser-powered 3D printers for the industrial sector, today announced that it has raised $99 million in funding. Nvidia Corp.’s NVentures fund and ...

You can download and 3D print the little spaceman from Project Hail Mary, and it's inspiring, like the movie itself.

Glass 3D printing breaks temperature barriers with 250°C processes, enabling custom eyewear and DIY optical components beyond ...
