Once a novelty technology used by a few cutting-edge companies to make part prototypes, 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is now considered a mainstream technology for the factory ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

If you want to delve into the emerging ecosystem of 3D printing and own a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, here's what you need to know before you take your first foray and print your first test boat. A natural ...
