You still may not be able to paint with all the colors of the wind, a la Pocahontas, but now, artists Ekaggrat Singh Kalsi and Daniel Canogar have discovered how to paint with light using 3D printers.

A team of University of Texas at Austin researchers led by chemistry assistant professor Zachariah Page demonstrated a fast and precise way to 3D print using visible light. 3D printed objects made ...

Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

Discover the world's smallest 3D printer, standing impressively at just 4 centimeters tall. Encased in a stylish light wood ...

Disney Research has patented its design for “a nearly instantaneous” 3D printer that uses light to cure resin selectively to produce an entire model out of a stereolithography (STL) file all at once.

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

Scientists have taken the idea of three-dimensional holograms from science fiction and have made them a reality through 3D printing techniques. The clean, solid, interactive holograms portrayed in ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

Over the past few years, 3D printers have become more versatile and accessible to the average consumer. Many models are easy to use, some of which can occupy a minimal amount of space with footprints ...
