Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

Combining laser engraving with 3D printing creates unique, customizable items quickly and inexpensively. Creative projects like edge-lit lamps, kinetic coasters, and wood-inlay magnets showcase the ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...

The Core One is an excellent alternative to the Bambu Lab machines, and, because it's made by Prusa, it has security-first features and an upgrade path that just doesn't exist for other manufacturers.

The development of cheaper, more powerful lasers has always been a cause for excitement among hackers, and fiber lasers are ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive, compact, and ...
