The use of a 3D printer capable of manufacturing parts of unlimited size and shape “could be a breakthrough for vehicle manufacturing,” the automaker stated in a news release.

Pasta comes in many shapes and sizes, which is part of its inherent delight. ... The ability to make flat pasta for shipping that takes on a specific 3D shape when cooked is one potential solution.

These 3D shapes look like spheres made out of a chain-link fence. And someday, they could help humans build cheap housing in disaster zones, better grasp global warming , and even combat viruses ...

3D printing is about to rock the world of spare parts makers. While half of today's production is being used to create prototypes, by 2020 as much as 80 percent of 3D printing will be used to ...

The digital twin opens a door to the 3D modeling and more opportunities to use parts made through additive manufacturing. The NIAR project is not the Army’s only effort.

Divergent 3D's technology uses direct-metal laser sintering. Layers of aluminum alloy powder are built up to create the necessary parts or to build molds for non-metallic components.
