Electric vehicles and most electronic devices, such as cell phones and laptop computers, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Until now, manufacturers have had to design their devices around the size and shape of commercially available batteries. But researchers have developed a new method to 3-D print lithium-ion batteries in virtually

PrinTracker tech could match sketchy objects to 3D printers that made them
Although 3D printers are able to produce some amazing objects, they can also crank out counterfeit goods, illegal firearms, and other not-so-nice creations. Soon, if someone is suspected of making such items, it could be possible to match the objects to that person's printer. Commonly-used Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers
We Can Now Easily 3D Print With Metal
THE NEXT LEVEL. We can now 3D print pretty much anything from seemingly any material. Want to print a house out of concrete, a human cornea out of a bio-ink, or a pizza out of dough, sauce, and cheese? Piece of (3D-printed) cake. The one material that’s proven a bit trickier, though, is metal. Industrial printers are up
Unlimited Tomorrow CEO Creates Lifelike 3D Printed Hand for Young Momo
LaChappelle is a young engineer who is using 3D printing to develop high-tech prosthetics for amputees with his company Unlimited Tomorrow. Momo Sutton, a 10-year-old girl, has been using a basic prosthetic since the age of four. However, engineer Easton LaChappelle made her dreams come true when he presented her with
