Cloud technology is making many computing tools available in the browser. Andy Wolber looks at a few apps that let you create 3D objects on your Google Chromebook. Show me a person with a Chromebook ...

3D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more. You can 3D-print your own designs using a ...

In just the last year, CAD programs are glowing with the luster of shiny new functionality. 3D printing has revamped the whole notion of what constitutes shape. 3D PDFs are changing the way drafts are ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional solid objects at room temperature. In 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 ...
