[Andreas Bastian] has been working on a device that turns an off-the-shelf laser cutter into something capable of selective laser sintering of powdered plastics into 3D objects. He’s put in a lot of ...

If you already have a 3D printer, you already have a machine that will trace out gears, cogs, and enclosures over an XY plane. How about strapping a laser to your extruder and turning your printer ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

The automotive industry is currently navigating a period of unprecedented transformation. As the global market shifts toward lightweight construction, electrification, and intelligent systems, the ...

Makerarm is a robotic 3D printer, laser cutter, drawing and ink printer, fabricator and assembly machine all rolled into one that fits on a desktop and promises to make pretty much anything – ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

It's hard to believe we've been working with and exploring 3D printers for three years here on ZDNet. Before MakerBot sent me their early Replicator, I had never touched a 3D printer. That said, I was ...

Makers, designers and enthusiasts looking for a modular transforming 3D printer and laser cutter may be interested in the new Optimus featuring a smart modular design and three useful functions in the ...

The Ray5 20W Laser Engraver is a highly efficient device that can both cut and engrave a variety of materials such as wood, acrylic, stainless steel, leather, and even silver. It is considered to be ...

Multi-colored 3D printers have come a long way, able to handle projects that would have been impossible a few years ago. Here ...
