Could Room-Temperature Nanolasers Change 3D Printing?
A new form of laser has been developed, and I’m wondering what it may do to future 3D printers.
What to Make of the Snapmaker?
The Snapmaker is a very low cost desktop 3D printer that has now raised a great deal of money, but is this a good thing?
Significant Speed Up For 3D Metal Printing Developed
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed a unique 3D metal printing process that could dramatically speed up metal printing.
The Transformable Optimus 3D Printer / Laser Engraver / CNC Combo
Today Febtop Tech launches the Optimus, one of the few combo machines that combines 3D printing with other making processes.
Building a Sand Printer with a Laser Cutter
California-based William Osman has been experimenting with a homemade sand-fusion system based on a laser cutter that could eventually become a full 3D printer.

Ancient 3D Printer Converted Into a Laser Engraver
Some months ago we proposed a list of things you could do with your now-expired ancient personal 3D printers. We said you could upgrade them; use them for simple prints; donate them; toss them out; or make them into a museum piece. At the time we considered museuming as the best option for our… Continue reading Ancient 3D Printer Converted Into a Laser Engraver
Homemade Stereo Lithography
Maker Rob Hopeless developed a primitive stereo lithography 3D printer. For those unfamiliar with “SLA”, it’s a 3D printing technique involving shooting a laser beam at a vat of liquid plastic resin and gradually solidifying that resin into the desired solid object. While most hobbyists attempt to make thermal plastic extruder-based 3D printers, Rob attempted… Continue reading Homemade Stereo Lithography
Is it a Laser Cutter? Or a 3D Printer? Or Both!
What do you get when you take a normal laser cutter and bolt on some RepRap componentry? You get a Hybrid Laser Cutter/3D Printer called a Chimera. Buildlog.net has put together a new project to do just this, and it actually works. They have plans to expand the project by adding various interesting and dangerous… Continue reading Is it a Laser Cutter? Or a 3D Printer? Or Both!
