3D Printing

Geologists are using 3D-printed rocks to study how oil and gas moves through underground rock and the research could have important implications for fracking.

About 700 inventors and innovators gathered here at the New York Hall of Science last weekend (Sept. 20-21) to show off cool creations and fun DIY projects at the fifth annual World Maker Faire.

The World Maker Faire is coming to the New York Hall of Science in Queens this weekend (Sept. 20-21).

A 3D-printed "bio-bot" powered by skeletal muscle tissue could give robots more precise control over its movements.

A new government website allows people to download, share and edit files for use in 3D-printing.

In a unique homage to Vincent van Gogh, an artist has created a 3D-printed living replica of the Dutch painter's famously severed ear.

Using 3D-printing methods, researchers have created artificial blood vessels in a lab. The bioprinted structures could be used for transplants or for testing new drugs, scientists say.

Assembling a future robot could be as simple as heating it up. Two new studies demonstrate how 3D-printed robots could fold into shape and assemble themselves after being exposed to heat.
