The United States Navy's USS Essex has been equipped with a brand-new ElemX printer made by Xerox. The printer weighs 4,630 pounds (2,100 kilograms) and was lifted via crane onto the vessel while in ...

3D printing isn’t short of advocates in the design and engineering world, because of its ability to easily produce prototypes—but it can be slow. A new company called Carbon3D hopes to change that, ...

A group of researchers out of North Carolina State University used an alloy of two metals, gallium and indium, to 3D-print liquid metal structures. NCSU researchers have developed three techniques for ...

Freelancer Michael Franco writes about the serious and silly sides of science and technology for CNET and other pixel and paper pubs. He's kept his fingers on the keyboard while owning a B&B in Amish ...

Scientists at Berkeley Lab, in conjunction with the Department of Energy, have devised a way to construct 3D structures completely made from liquid. They used a modified 3D printer to inject tiny ...

This new Carbon3D printer totally looks like the science fiction future but it’s real. The liquid 3D printing method uses liquid resin, laser light and oxygen to print out things up to 25-100 times ...

We have featured plenty of plastic 3D printers here on Geeky Gadgets over the years, but this new MiniMetalMaker 3D metal printer, must be the first that is capable of printing in metal. The ...

Vancouver---A terrifying killer liquid metal robot from a blockbuster "Terminator" science fiction film has inspired what was heralded here as a revolution in 3D printing. Chemist Joseph DeSimone was ...

In the past few years we’ve seen a number of companies, most notably Makerbot, try to bring 3D printing mainstream with inexpensive desktop printers. Now, a new company called Formlabs is trying to ...
