3D-printed rockets are spacecraft that feature additively manufactured components using 3D-printing technology. Compared to most traditional rockets, the 3D-printed variety is more fuel efficient, lighter in weight and built in a fraction of the time.
Automotive enthusiasts all over the world are using 3D printed parts to restore old cars. One such example is when Australian engineers printed parts to bring a Delage Type-C back to life. In doing so, they had to print parts that were out of production for decades....
TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane is a flexible, abrasion-resistant thermoplastic. It can help create 3D printed objects that are durable and have the ability to withstand ambient temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius (176°F). It is great for making phone cases, rubber mats, and stress to...
Fuel efficiency and emissions reductions are driving the need for lightweight parts with 3D printing in aerospace and automotive applications. Learn more Affordable housing Habitat for Humanity and PERI 3D Construction built the organization’s first 3D-printed home, reimagining what affordable housing ...
3D printing is eco-friendly as it uses materials like PLA, which is extracted from corn starch, making it non-toxic and renewable. It also reduces material waste by using the amount needed for each print. Also, items can be printed only when they are needed, eliminating the need for shipp...
3D printing has the potential to create complex and innovative geometries that might be difficult, expensive, or even impossible to achieve with traditional practices. With CNC machining or milling, geometries are limited to the size and shape of the available tooling. Instead, printed 3D models ar...

In photogrammetry, the equivalent of that coin would be scale bars. Photogrammetry provides proportion but not scale. Without the T-shaped, calibrated scale bar, it is impossible to tell how big (or small) this crankshaft is. Scale bars are calibrated, linear bars with printed markers called ...
A 3D printer based on VATphotopolymerizationhas a container filled with photopolymer resin, which is hardened with an ultraviolet light source to create an object. The three most common forms of VAT polymerization are 1a) Stereolithography (SLA):Invented in 1984, SLA uses an ultraviolet laser to ...
It’s helpful to think of a 2D QR Code as being made up of a bunch of little flat squares, while a 3D-printed QR Code is made up of tiny boxes. Since 3D-printed QR Codes are tangible, physical items, they offer a variety of new use opportunities. ...
