Mjölnir refers to the hammer of the thunder god, Thor, in Norse mythology. The hammer is used as both a devastating weapon and as an instrument to deliver blessings. The Washington-based startup New Frontier Aerospace (NFA) gave its 3D printed…

3D printing filament is a fundamental component of fused deposition modeling (FDM) and other extrusion-based 3D printing processes. Whether you’re a hobbyist, engineer or manufacturer, selecting the right filament is crucial to achieving strong, high-quality prints. Factors such as strength,…

According to the WHO, over 800 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. While type 2 diabetes can be prevented with a healthy diet and sufficient exercise, the causes of type 1 diabetes have not yet been fully researched. This type…

Students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have created new 3D models of mathematical surfaces and theorems. In a project spearheaded by the Illinois Mathematics Lab and the Champaign-Urbana Community Fab Lab, undergraduates at the university were able to recreate…

Founded at the end of 2022, S.A.M (Signature & Authentification des Matériaux) is a young French company born of the encounter between materials science and digital technology. Established by two researchers, S.A.M’s mission is to fight counterfeiting and protect sensitive…

For years, Stratasys’ PolyJet technology has been the benchmark in 3D printing for visual prototyping: high-fidelity color models, ultra-fine details, smooth surfaces. But beneath the aesthetics lurked a limitation known to insiders: the fragility of the materials prevented their use…

When its Kickstarter campaign closed on June 28, Anker made history: with over 17,000 backers and $46 million in pledges, the tech company now holds the record for the most-funded campaign in Kickstarter history—surpassing the previous record of $41.7 million.…

3D printing in space is no longer a myth: it’s possible to design 3D parts in such a demanding environment, where gravity presents obvious constraints and obstacles. Numerous projects have demonstrated that it is possible to create a wide variety…
