The main mechanical tools in a hacker’s shop used to be a drill press and a lathe. Maybe a CNC mill, if you were lucky. Laser cutters are still a rare tool to find in a personal shop, but today’s ...

The concept of self-replicating 3D printers is a really powerful one. But in practice, there are issues with the availability and quality of the 3D-printed parts. [Noyan] is taking a different ...

The Core One is an excellent alternative to the Bambu Lab machines, and, because it's made by Prusa, it has security-first features and an upgrade path that just doesn't exist for other manufacturers.

Bottom line: There are other products on the market that can double as both a 3D printer and a laser engraver that don't have the riskiness inherent in a Kickstarter campaign. But Lotmaxx sets itself ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...

Stereolithography (SL Laser) technology uses a laser to heat the photosensitive resin, producing higher resolution print objects with more complex geometry. The print resolution reaches an impressive ...

3DFacture have created a new professional SLA Laser 3D printer which they have equipped with a F-theta lens making it the first desktop 3D printer with 50 micron laser spot, offering users the ability ...
