In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Researchers pioneer binder-free 3D printing of glass, using light to form precise silica structures for optics, medicine, and ...

Researchers have developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a chemical reaction ...

Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: water always finds a way in. That’s particularly problematic for things like wire splices in damp environments, something that no amount of electrical tape ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures. The revolutionary device has already been tested in animals. Now, researchers in South Korea are preparing for human ...
