In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Have you ever looked at a hot glue gun and wondered if it could do more than just stick things together? What if it could actually create something entirely new, layer by layer, just like a 3D printer ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

[Daniel Roibert] found a way to add cheap strain relief to JST-XH connectors, better known to hobby aircraft folks as the charging and balance connectors on lithium-polymer battery packs. His solution ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

3D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, but should you? Before you dive in, here's what to consider—about materials, possible uses, software, and much more. Since 2004, I ...

A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures. The revolutionary device has already been tested in animals. Now, researchers in South Korea are preparing for human ...

Want to make a t-shirt with a custom design printed on it? It’s possible to use a 3D printer, and Prusa Research have a well-documented blog post and video detailing two different ways to use 3D ...

The Hebrew University team has developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a ...
