Electric dirt bikes have been one of the motorcycle industry’s most exciting stories over the last several years, in part because the technological shift just makes so much damn sense for the category ...

Most hobby 3D printers are based on FDM, extruding a single-color noodle of melted plastic to build up an object. Powder-based inkjet 3D printing allows you to print detailed, full-color models from a ...

The prevailing model for planetary accretion assumes that the solar system's planets formed in an extremely hot, two-dimensional disk of gas and dust, post-dating the sun. Scientists now propose a ...

Explore the vision for a future lunar base where 3D-printing with moon dust becomes the solution for building materials. Both private and government space agencies have expressed serious intentions ...

Over the last few years we have witnessed the expansion of additive manufacturing using 3D printers from utilization as a prototyping tool to increasing implementation on the plant floor. The rapid ...

When and if we ever get astronauts back on the moon – or on Mars, for that matter – they presumably won't be bringing bags of cement or iron ore up there with them. Instead, when it comes to building ...

When the people of Earth set up bases on the moon, you can imagine that 3D printing will be a key enabling technology. Of course, you could ship plastic or other filament at great cost. But what if ...

To support a potential future lunar base, researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have 3D printed and baked fake Moon dust into screws, gears, and even a coin. Both private and government space ...
