3D printers have become versatile, affordable, and powerful enough to print all sorts of things — including car parts. The process has also developed beyond DIY and prototyping (there are even 3D ...

Not all 3D scanning is alike, and the right workflow can depend on the object involved. [Ding Dong Drift] demonstrates this in his 3D scan of a project car. His goal is to design custom attachments, ...

You can buy all sorts of RC cars off the shelf, but doing so won’t teach you a whole lot. Alternatively, you could follow [TRDB]’s example, and design your own from scratch. The Lizard, as it is known ...

Arguably, one of the main purposes of new technology is to provide means of improving your life in ways large and small. As an example of this, there are all manner of 3D printed gadgets that could be ...

What if a car built in your garage could rival the performance of high-end RC models, all thanks to a 3D printer? That’s exactly what one new project has achieved, pushing the boundaries of ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research. Researchers at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials ...

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...
