Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

While it's possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that could ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Carolyn Schwaar is a tech journalist and editor at All3DP Magazine. This article is more than 3 years old. 3D-printed skull ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

Printing injects control into your life that feels almost illicit, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the mechanical ...

A 3D-printing technique with dual nozzles enables a new form of metal-plastic hybrid printing. Applications include 3D-printed electronic components for healthcare applications, according to ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...
