3D printers may be getting all the hype right now, but an Israeli hardware startup called Zuta Labs wants to inject some particles of excitement back into 2D printing — by turning the standard 2D ...

This year alone, the number of innovations in desktop 3D printers has been remarkable -- from a product that can scan, copy and fax 3D objects in one device to an affordable 3D printer for larger ...

Bill Decker is chairman of the Association of 3D Printing, the largest trade organization in the industry. Ten years ago, few desktop computers lived far from a 2D printer. Even in today’s ...

Traditional methods, such as optical lithography and laser interference lithography, require coating the 2D material with a protective resist mask, allowing only specific areas of the 2D material to ...

Modern printers make it all that much more tempting to try and hack them — the hardware generally tends to be decent, but the firmware appears to be designed to squeeze as much money out of you as ...

Is there such thing as an affordable laser printer? Well sure, even ones that print in color. What about a 3D scanner? Those tend to run several hundred dollars, and can easily creep into four-digit ...

Hackers love 3D printers. In fact, they might love them a little too much. We hope know we aren’t be the only ones who couldn’t turn down a good deal on an overseas printer (or two). But when you’re ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink. North Carolina State ...
