3D printing promises to revolutionize the way people build, create and use objects. But right now, the technology is still more expensive than most people are willing to pay, and the printing process ...

Growth in 3D printing marches on at an annual 26% clip. While new printers keep increasing the print speeds and range of materials that can be used, data on recycling these materials has been sparse.

VALPARAISO — Tubes filled with multicolored plastic pellets fill the shelf in Adam Johnson's kitchen. A large motor is perched on a table by the back door and, across from it, sits a peculiar metal ...
