Engineers from MIT developed a new technique called the direct-write colloidal assembly process. It can build centimeter-high crystals made from billions of individual colloids. They did this by uniting the principles of 3D printing and self-assembly.
FDM 3D printers are one of the most common hobby machines of today, but what exactly does fused deposition modeling mean, and how does it work? Keep reading to find out!

University of Calgary students are working on a project which could provide astronauts with 3D printed plastic tools made from feces and genetically engineered bacteria. The students recently tested the tools out during a flight on the "Vomit Comet".
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have 3D printed an image sensing array on a hemisphere: in essence, a bionic eye. It is the first-of-its-kind and, hopefully, will be used to help blind people see.
You may have heard of delta 3D printers, but what are they really? How do they work? Should you get one? Here are the answers, simply explained.
Attempting to circumvent a recent court order blocking 3D printable gun blueprints from being shared online, Defense Distributed is now selling the files to customers in states that have not imposed a ban.
Material scientists from the US Army Research Laboratory are using an atom probe to explore the structure of metal and ceramic specimens at the atomic-level and creating 3D models of the results.
In an effort to raise standards whilst lowering the barrier of entry for multi-tooling your 3D printer, Endurance pushes things further with its 10W & 10W+ laser attachments. Here's the skinny on diode lasers, and a special offer for All3DP readers.
3D printable gun blueprints will remain offline after a federal judge from Washington State extends a court order to block Defense Distributed from sharing firearm designs on its website.
