Robotic assistants are one of the most enduring features when we envision our technological future. Whether they’re Roombas sweeping the floor or chauffeurs in the form of self-driving cars, our ...

3D printers are an excellent tool to have on hand, largely because they can print other tools and parts rapidly without needing to have them machined or custom-ordered. 3D printers have dropped in ...

[Huaishu Peng] and a group of other researchers have come up with a system that allows them to use virtual reality (VR) to model an object in a space in front of them while a robot simultaneously 3D ...

Polish 3D printer manufacturer Zortrax has announced that they’ve added a 3D model library to its Z-Suite software suite, a closed place where Zortrax users can store and share their models. To ...

Back in the previous century, one of the most common expectations about the future was that it would include robot assistants for all. The Jetsons had one, the crew of the C-57D had one, the Robinsons ...

One of the big issues with 3D printing farms is that, in order to achieve large batches of product, you need to have a large number of printers working together in unison. Particularly if you’re a one ...

Researchers have created a new interactive fabrication system called RoMA, which uses 3D printing, virtual reality technology and computer aided design CAD. Check out the video below to learn more ...

3D printer manufacturer Zortrax has this week released a new update for its printing software as well as making free files available for its awesome Robotic Arm that can be 3D printed. Simply ...

3D printers are far from a perfect technology at this point, but one of their most glaring issues is that their printing capacity is limited to the size of the machines. The print head on a 3D printer ...

Engineering students at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have teamed up with the Amsterdam-based 3D-printing company MX3D to 3D print a stainless steel bike frame. The Arc Bicycle, as ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...

Although they're still far from being common, 3D-printed metal bicycle frames do now exist. Usually they're made using a sintering process, in which a laser is utilized to selectively melt steel ...
