Disney Research has patented its design for “a nearly instantaneous” 3D printer that uses light to cure resin selectively to produce an entire model out of a stereolithography (STL) file all at once.

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Goeroptics made its debut at Formnext 2025 on November 18 in Frankfurt, and showcased innovative DLP 3D printing light engine modules and industrial ...

In the new study, the researchers created metalenses that, when intense laser light shone on them, could each serve as a ...

Most 3D printers build up 3D objects layer by layer. This creates a “stair-step” effect along the edges. It also limits the printer’s ability to build flexible objects because bendable materials often ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

CyFantasy is an affordable LCD 3D printer capable of creating large-size 3D prints with industrial position while still offering an easy user experience. Launched via Kickstarter the project has ...
