What Is Slicer Software and How Does it Enable 3D Printing? 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing, works by creating objects layer-by-layer based on a digital computer-aided design (CAD) model ...

Castor software evaluates parts for whether they would be better and more cost-effective 3D printed. Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) makes industrial parts faster, cheaper, and better, but not ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

3D printing, technically known as additive manufacturing (AM), has gained a lot of use as both a novelty technique to be used at home to print ‘cool things’ and as a manufacturing tool to fabricate ...

A 3D printer turns digital designs into physical objects using a variety of substances, from plastic to ceramic to something that kind of looks like wood. Before you even touch a printer, you'll need ...
