You could say that Micronic’s Kickstarter project is a smashing success, at least for the two young engineers who dreamed of building a next-generation 3D printer out of their college apartment. Their Kickstarter backers have a different opinion.

Henry Chan and Luke Boppart, both 2023 graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, launched a Kickstarter in June to create an affordable Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer, dubbed the Micron. SLS uses a laser to melt thin layers

A team from the Singapore University of Technology and Design has 3D printed a QR code that you can eat. It was accomplished using a new extrusion system design that allows their 3D food printer to swap easily between filaments. The team comprises four members: Cheng Pau Lee, Mervin Jian Yi Ng, Nicole Min Yu Chian, and Michinao Hashimoto.

It isn't the first food-based 3D printer we've seen. We have reviewed the

When Prusa Research acquired Printed Solid in 2022 , it was obvious that the European 3D printing giant wanted better access to the American market. Though wildly popular among US consumers, printers like the Prusa MK3 (and later, the premium class MK4 , one of the best 3D printers ) could only be purchased directly from the Czech

This week, the world gathered at the Los Angeles Convention Center for a three-day run of North America’s largest 3D printing event, the Rapid + TCT 2024 . With a focus on manufacturing and industry-level 3D printers, you might not think there’s anything for the average consumer to see, but you’d be wrong. All the best 3D printer makers turned out to showcase their newest wares, from Prusa,

Today we have a great deal for 3D printing hobbyists looking to speed up their printing game. At this reduced price, it's an ideal time to invest in your first 3D printer or upgrade from an older, slower model. This is the lowest price the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro has been.

Available from Amazon, the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro is on sale for $284 , a saving of 21% on the original $359 MSRP. So

3D printing has made manufacturing more affordable, especially for low-volume production. However, 3D printers are often huge and heavy devices that need a stable platform to work properly — until now. MIT News reports that its researchers have worked closely with a team from the University of Texas at Austin to create a prototype 3D printer that is smaller than a coin.
