A Canadian company has seen off the previous world record for indoor printing with a plastic filament campervan. The 3D-printed van – a world first in itself – is over three times larger than the previous record holder, measuring just under two by four meters, being six feet wide and thirteen feet long. Specialists at […]

US construction firm ICON unveiled the first 3D-printed home to be given a permit, at last month’s South by Southwest tech conference in Austin, TX. The company built the home with mortar, using its own custom-built printers. The endeavor brought together experts in advanced materials, robotics and computer software to produce a viable and affordable […]

GearBest has always been the best online store to go to when it comes to buying 3D printers directly from China. The store has an impressive line of DIY 3D printer kits as well as ready-to-print models that cover a wide price range starting from sub-$200 kits to models that cost well over $500. The […]

Xiaomi recently launched its latest and second drone to date — the MITU which is clearly aimed at competing against the DJI Tello. Unlike its earlier drone — the Mi Drone 4K, the MITU is a compact drone of mini proportions. It is powered by brushed motors and has a diagonal motor size that’s smaller […]

The printer I chose for this review was the Raiscube R10 I recently purchased. It is basically a mutant clone of the Creality R10 with a couple major differences. The bed size is slightly smaller and the filament driver with 3 cooling fans is located on the extruder. This was the main reason I chose […]

Earlier this year, MJX unveiled a new beginner drone — the Bugs 5W which features a 1-axis camera gimbal system, probably the world’s first system with only 1 axis of stabilization. Now that is not exactly something to shout about but stabilizing only on one axis is better than having no stabilization at all. The […]

When the DJI Spark was released over a year ago, it quickly became the world’s best selfie drone thanks to its mechanically stabilized 1080P camera, great camera image quality (for the price) and compact form factor. Since then, rivals have been trying to play catch up without much success. Among these is the Yuneec Breeze […]

Xi’an, a former capital of dynastic China, in the country’s Shaanxi province, is perhaps most commonly associated with tradition and history. Yet last month, the home of the Terracotta Warriors demonstrated to the world that, while its foundations may be ancient, its gaze is firmly on the future. The city hosted a mass drone performance […]

As drones continue to become more and more ubiquitous in daily life, one of their most useful applications appears to be making good on its promise. Search and rescue drones have been saving lives for a number of years now, being employed by organizations such as the Red Cross, mountain rescue teams and even inner […]

The research paper published in April’s edition of the Advanced Materials journal detailed the use of a customized 3D printer to print electronics onto the skin of a human hand. This research, carried out at the University of Minnesota, represented the latest in an impressive string of breakthroughs in the field of 3D printing technology. […]
