Castor software evaluates parts for whether they would be better and more cost-effective 3D printed. Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) makes industrial parts faster, cheaper, and better, but not ...

What Is Slicer Software and How Does it Enable 3D Printing? 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing, works by creating objects layer-by-layer based on a digital computer-aided design (CAD) model ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

3D printing, technically known as additive manufacturing (AM), has gained a lot of use as both a novelty technique to be used at home to print ‘cool things’ and as a manufacturing tool to fabricate ...

A 3D printer turns digital designs into physical objects using a variety of substances, from plastic to ceramic to something that kind of looks like wood. Before you even touch a printer, you'll need ...
