Printing 3D objects has always felt like a daunting and expensive affair, but we are beginning to see 3D printers come down in price substantially. The problem is that it’s still difficult to create ...

Augmented reality has never been nearly as cool as its name suggests. Even when it isn't gimmicky, it's virtually useless, in large part because your mobile camera's version of "reality" is short one ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a method to embed electrically-conductive particles, or sensors, in 3D printed filament polymers and disperse them evenly. The patent-pending wet-mixing ...
