The technology behind 3D printing is growing fast. If you're thinking about joining the world of color 3D printing, there are ...

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 ...

Color 3D printing has gone mainstream, and we expect more than one hacker will be unpacking one over the holidays. If you have, say, a color inkjet printer, the process is simple: print. Sure, maybe ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...

There is that euphoric and exciting feeling you get when you buy your first 3D printer, but the real deal comes in when you need to choose the right machine that can print in more than one color. Here ...

The average cost of a desktop 3D printer has dropped like a stone over the last few years. They went from a piece of equipment you had to wait your turn to use at the hackerspace to something you can ...

Imagine being able to create custom vibrant, multi-colored 3D prints with the same ease as printing a single-color object. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this idea sparks excitement—but anyone ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A new generation of lenses ('metalenses') is starting to replace bulky curved lenses with simple, flat surfaces that use nanostructures to focus light. These flat surfaces ...

Brilliantly colored chameleons, butterflies, opals - and now some 3D-printed materials -- reflect color by using nanoscale structures called photonic crystals. A new study demonstrates how a modified ...
