The Thermalright Fan Frame Vision-1 is a clip-on 3.69-inch screen that snaps directly in front of your PC case fans. These accessories let you display temperature, fan speed, and other information across your case, and even create a unified theme across all the screens in your PC.

As tornadoes, hurricanes and other extreme weather events threaten communities, researchers are exploring whether 3D-printed concrete could provide stronger and more affordable storm shelters for people who need them most. Reese Greenlee, an assistant professor of architecture at Kansas State University, is studying how 3D printing could be used to build storm shelters for manufactured […] The po…

A new type of 3D printing could dramatically speed up the way tiny, complex objects are made. Instead of slowly building an object one layer at a time, researchers have developed a technique that can create an entire 3D structure—including hollow spaces inside it—with a single burst of laser light. Scientists at the University of […] The post New 3D Printing Technology Creates Complex Objects in …

OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer both let you generate mechanical connectors, plugs, dowels, snaps, dovetails, when you split a model for multi-part printing. Cura doesn't, and it doesn't expose an official plugin API you can hook into to add this the right way either. That gap is why cura-connect exists. How I built it Two phases, verified at each step rather than assumed to work: Phase 1: a headless …

The Elegoo Centauri 2 Combo is an excellent four-color printer, but is it worth the savings without an enclosure?

Researchers at the University of Utah and the University of Texas at Austin have developed a holographic 3D printing method that forms complete objects in a single laser exposure. A nanopatterned mask diffracts the beam into a volumetric intensity pattern that crosslinks a specially formulated resin only in the intended solid regions. Because exposure occurs much faster than curing, computational…

Iris Optronics, a manufacturer of cholesteric liquid crystal display (ChLCD) e-paper, announced upgrades to its Infinity solar-powered ChLCD e-paper series, including a mass-producible 31.5-inch large-format outdoor commercial display.
