3D printing has made it incredibly easy to produce small runs of plastic parts, but getting rid of the 3D printed look can be tricky and time-consuming. When you need a smooth and polished finish, or ...

In this video, I’ll show you the complete process of making a silicone mold from a 3D printed model and casting it in plaster. We start by 3D printing a custom design, then move on to creating a ...

A new study has integrated digital modeling and 3D printing to recreate ancient Chinese bronze piece-mold techniques in under 40 hours, compared to weeks using traditional methods. The approach ...

In our previous installment, we mentioned how having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. This article will walk through how to make tooling with a low-cost 3D printer.

One of the promises of 3-D printing is that it presents the potential to manufacture complex parts that you can’t produce with any other technology. For B & J Specialty, Inc., in Wawaka, Indiana, that ...

Getting PCBs made is often the key step in taking a dodgy lab experiment and turning it into a functional piece of equipment. However, it can be tedious to wait for PCBs to ship, and that can really ...
