The V-One will allow Makers to go from concept to creation in just minutes. The emergence of 3D printing continues to revolutionize the way in which companies and Makers go about the prototyping process. And, as you’re well aware, constructing your own circuit boards can certainly be a daunting task. Now, what if converging these two elements could significantly cut down the time between concept […]
Maker builds a moving four-cylinder engine with a RepRap 3D printer. Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen the emergence of 3D-printed vehicles. Most recently, Local Motors demonstrated the future of car manufacturing by printing the main structure of an entire car right on the floor of the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The company extrudes just about everything that it can, […]
3D printing lets another two-legged dog run around with his four-legged friends. A 3D-printed wheelchair has enabled a dachshund puppy, born without front limbs, to walk again. This heartwarming story is just the latest example of how the additive process is helping our friends from the animal kingdom get a second lease on life. Last year, we saw an […]
Makers, meet the most refined Delta printer yet. Over the past few years, the Maker Movement has ushered in a wave of Delta-style 3D printers. Given their open-source, easy-to-assemble and expandable nature, not to mention affordability, the machines have become a popular choice for hobbyists throughout the world. However, these DIY devices have been found to sometimes be on the flimsier […]
You can say goodbye to crooked prints with this steel-framed, high-resolution machine. Created by Poland-based startup Pirx, the ONE is a consumer-friendly and stylish 3D printer boasting a number of built-in features including an upgradeable heated bed for ABS support. Based on an an AT90USB1286, the affordable yet robust machine is equipped with an auto bed-leveling system, an LCD interface screen, and SD card […]
3D printing has helped Feinstein Institute researchers create cartilage designed for tracheal repair or replacement. It’s not so much a question as to if 3D printing will be an integral part of medical procedures in the future, it’s more so when. And apparently, we are closer than ever before. While we’ve seen everything from 3D-printed splints to […]
Arduino continues its 3D printing tutorial series for its brand-new Materia 101. It’s no secret that LEGO has been the perennial building blocks for DIYers spanning across decades. And, it’s also no surprise that the bricks are being paired with the Arduino open-source platform. Together, they are enabling Makers to bring their wildest ideas to life. If you recall, […]
After four months, here are all 25 parts that have been 3D-printed in space. November 24th at 9:28pm GMT is a moment that Made In Space and the entire Maker community will never forget. It was the day that the crew completed the first functional 3D print outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. The historic Zero-G 3D printer arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) […]
A new solution that’ll keep your print out of the trash. When using a 3D printer, or CNC machines for that matter, just the littlest missed step when moving the toolhead can ruin a print. And if that occurs, the entire layer and every layer after will be slightly off. Fortunately, Maker hopes to solve that problem with his closed loop control of DC […]
Talk to the (robotic) hand! While we’ve seen a number of 3D-printed prosthetics, and more recently a couple of Arduino-based bionic hands, one project by Nicolas Huchet has combined the two in a rather impressive manner. It all started nearly 10 years ago when Huchet’s forearm was amputated following an accident while working as a mechanical engineer. At the time, he was given […]
