One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing.

Conventional 3D printing can be a slow process, where objects are constructed one line or one layer at a time. Researchers in Heidelberg and Tübingen now demonstrate how to form a 3D object from ...

Layer by layer, they solidify the resin to form the 3D-printed object under the liquid. At the end of the print, the object rises out of the liquid as it is pushed up out of the reservoir.

Stereolithography (SL) is one of several methods used to create 3D-printed objects ... or hardened, to form a solid object. SLAs have four main parts: a tank that can be filled with liquid ...

In addition to working well with the laser, this mixture's high viscosity allows a 3D part to be formed without deformation problems or supports to keep the object in place during 3D printing.

A new system could help identify such bogus goods, by printing a unique code right into objects. Known as Fused Deposition Modelling, the most common form of 3D printing involves using a nozzle to ...
