Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

I have been 3D printing for a while now, and throughout, I have created my files for 3D printing using a 3D modeling program, as well as occasionally downloading them from 3D printing websites. It ...

There has been an increase in the availability of affordable 3D scanners these last few years, largely down to the use of structured light technology in such scanners. Traditional 3D scanners use ...

Rather than spending hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a 3D scanner, you might be interested to know that it is possible to use an Xbox Kinect to create an affordable alternative. This guide by ...

Start-up XYZPrinting today released its first all-in-one 3D printer, which uses a 3D laser scanner to replicate objects placed inside the machine. While other 3D printing companies sell handheld ...
