The world around us can be one of the best sources of inspiration for prints. There are good methods for getting printable models of buildings and landscapes from available repositories and geographic databases, two of which we'll look at in this article. This will give you a good alternative to relying on what happens to [...]
What is 3D Printing? Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing is the process of taking data from a 3D model file and creating a 3D solid object. The concept is similar to a 2D printer but instead of printing on paper, 3D printers print objects three dimensionally. A 3D printer reads the digital 3D model information and [...]
Bioprinting is a major trend in medicine, promising a plethora of advances and new ways of dealing with medical issues. For organ or tissue replacement, there are never enough doners and rejection is a potential nightmare. Bioprinting has the potential to provide solutions to challenging medical problems by producing a viable replacement of complex organs. Scientists at Wake Forest IRM [...]
In our last article, we covered some of the techniques that are being used to create printed circuit boards using a 3D printer. Following those, you should have the copper traces you need for your board layout. It may look neat, but the board won't do a whole lot without any components on it. Now we [...]
3D printing and hobbyist electronics have a close relationship for makers. Where printing provides the physical frame and construction of a device, the logic and drive systems are normally bought. However, some people have been working on being able to print circuit boards using similar processes to 3D printing. As these get refined, it opens [...]
The PrintSpace team just returned from the 2015 3D Printer World Expo in Burbank, California. Thanks to the great folks at 3D Printer World who put on the show! Attendees had great things to say about our 3D printer, Altair. People loved the great resolution we were getting on the demo vases we were printing and the [...]

We enjoyed the mini MakerFaire in SLC this last weekend at Library Square. It was a beautiful day and location. The event had people of all ages–kids and adults making things like bow and arrows, launching rockets, and watching robots cruise around the area. We got a lot of great feedback about Altair and had the opportunity [...]
