The NX1 produces objects 40 times faster than other 3D printers

This incredible fast 3D print creates objects at the speed of one centimeter per minute, without sacrificing quality and accuracy. Do you feel the need, the need for 3D printing speed? Then one Rome-based startup has quite the thing for you. Nexa3D has unveiled what they call the NX1 3D printer, which boasts printing speeds of up to one centimeter per minute, […]

Maker creates his own 3D printer for under $100

Rather than spend thousands of dollars on a 3D printer, this Maker made his own out of a DIY CNC machine and a 3D printing pen. 3D printers have come a long way over the past couple of years. However, even despite their ubiquity, many of these machines are still pretty darn expensive. The more impressive devices can run anywhere from […]

Build your own e-waste 3D printer for $120

As the saying goes: One man’s trash is another Maker’s 3D printer. Electronic waste (or e-waste for short) is an interesting side-effect of our high-tech world. Sure, your Pentium II computer was still pretty cool after it survived “Y2K,” but by 2010 or so it was probably in a landfill. Making this even more wasteful […]

Baby 3D is a palm-sized 3D printer

Baby 3D prints in your hand, gets put away in a shoebox. Whereas a vast majority of companies are constantly looking for new ways to increase the build volume of their 3D printers, one group of Long Island-based Makers have set out to do just the opposite. Their goal? To put a 3D printer right in the palm of your hand. While […]

The first road-ready 3D-printed vehicle will be here soon

Local Motors has introduced what will become the first drivable, 3D-printed car you can buy: the LM3D Swim. Less than four months after revealing designs for the next-generation 3D-printed car, Local Motors has unveiled the LM3D Swim — their latest rapid vehicle iteration that’ll become the first fully-homologated, 3D-printed automobile to hit the streets. Earlier this year, the Phoenix-based company held a contest that encouraged people to […]

This giant 3D printer can build concrete objects

This kingsize 3D printer can builds concrete objects up to 36’ long, 16’ wide and 13’ tall.  Recently, several companies, Makers and architects have been diligently working towards creating a viable 3D printer that could build structures out of concrete. Joining them are a team of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, who’ve begun to employ a […]

Lowe’s and Made In Space to launch first commercial 3D printer into space

Lowe’s sells tools on Earth, so why not provide tools in space as well?  This news is out of this world, literally! Made In Space has revealed a new partnership with Lowe’s to launch a commercial 3D printer to the International Space Station early next year. The California-based startup has built a printer, called the Additive Manufacturing Facility, that will don the Lowe’s logo and […]

This 3D-printed RC car can go 100 mph

With his sights set on the world record, this Maker created a 3D-printed, remote-controlled car that can go over 100 mph. Like most of us, James Beswick has a hobby. That interest pertains to the building and racing of remote-controlled cars. But we’re not talking about just any RC vehicle. In fact, the British Maker has designed and 3D-printed one that’s […]

Readybox may be the world’s fastest consumer 3D printer

This desktop 3D printer can extrude six times faster than existing 3D printers without any risk of clogging. Readybox is a super speedy 3D printer reportedly capable of spitting out objects six times faster than other leading consumer 3D printers. The brainchild of University of Maryland engineering student Brett Potter, the ReadyBox was born out of his own frustrations with the lack of […]

MONO is a smart 3D printer with a 7-inch touchscreen

This sleek 3D printer boasts a 7″ LCD touchcreen with a user-friendly interface. While some 3D printers go for a much simpler, ‘less is more’ approach, one Berlin-based startup has taken another route with their lightweight, desktop machine. Mono Industries has introduced a sleek device equipped with a user-friendly, seven-inch touchscreen that puts all the printing options right at your […]
