Murray Leinster’s short story Things Pass By, published in 1945, includes what may be the first description of 3D printers: But this constructor is both efficient and flexible. I feed magnetronic ...

In brief: 3D printers aren't always designed with portability in mind, but there's a use case for makers and tinkerers who are often on the move. The open-source Lemontron aims to fill that void by ...

Researchers developed a 3D printer that can automatically determine the printing parameters of an unknown material. This could help engineers use emerging renewable or recycled materials that have ...
