When it comes to 3D printing, the focus has often been on plastics, leaving metal printing as a more complex challenge due to the extreme temperatures required and the potential for significant material defects. However, a significant breakthrough by researchers at Hiroshima University has now introduced a viable method for 3D printing tungsten carbide cobalt […]

As many look for ways to stay productive indoors during the chilly months, the recent discounts on Flashforge 3D printers at Amazon present a great opportunity for those interested in 3D printing. This hobby not only offers a fun outlet for creativity but also allows users to create practical items, from gaming figures to replacement […]

Steamforged Games is reviving the beloved miniature wargame Warmachine by reintroducing three legendary factions: the Infernals, Grymkin, and Convergence of Cyriss. These factions, long out of print, will be made available via a 3D printing campaign on MyMiniFactory, before eventually reaching retail stores. According to Steamforged, these factions have been highly sought after by players […]

Scientists at Hiroshima University have developed a groundbreaking technique for 3D printing with tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC–Co), one of the hardest engineering materials. This innovative process has made it possible to overcome the challenges posed by the material’s toughness, which has traditionally made additive manufacturing difficult. Utilizing a method known as "hot-wire irradiation," the researchers softening […]

Rising housing demand in the United States, coupled with a shortage of skilled labor and escalating construction costs, is prompting builders to turn to innovative solutions. Increasingly, 3D printing technology is moving from experimental stages into mainstream construction, enabling homes to be built and sold in active neighborhoods. Initially seen as a concept limited to […]

You’re at Costco, and as usual, the food court is bustling with shoppers. You might want to indulge in the temptingly cheap hot dog and drink combo, but where to place that food while navigating the crowded aisles? Juleon Cotillon, a pastry chef from the Bay Area and a 3D printing enthusiast, has solved this […]

3D printing technology has evolved significantly, allowing individuals to create models with ease, without the need for extensive technical know-how.
