Beckman Institute researchers developed a technique to 3D print and alter structural colors in the visible wavelength spectrum from deep blue to orange. The UV-assisted direct-ink-write 3D printing ...

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, ...

Interested in experimenting with your own multi-color filament? [Turbo_SunShine] says to just print your own, and experiment away! Now, if you’re thinking that 3D printing some filament sounds ...

Carbon raised $260 million that should help it advance toward the ability to 3D-print products made of multiple materials. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors ...

Scientists have developed a novel 3D printer that uses patterns of visible and ultraviolet light to dictate which of two monomers are polymerized to form a solid material. Different patterns of light ...

Our expert, award-winning staff selects the products we cover and rigorously researches and tests our top picks. If you buy through our links, we may get a commission. James has been writing about ...

Researchers have developed a 'coloring-by-shrinking' method to print arbitrary 3D microscopic objects exhibiting structural colors. The design consisted of woodpile photonic crystals with varying ...

A collector of classic computers has worked on a 3D printer filament designed to color-match classic Macintosh casings, which should help future restoration projects. The 3D printer has become an ...
