Printing with soft and brittle materials like hot glue requires careful design considerations. Using brass tubes and 3D-printed parts, you must iterate on designs to improve functionality and safety.

[Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a working hot glue 3D printer. As you’d expect ... He already has his own design for an extruder for larger diameters, so he mates this ...

Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...

A desktop 3D printer that uses paper, ink and glue to create highly detailed objects has been unveiled at the CES tech show in Las Vegas. Mcor said it was the first time such technology had become ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a genetic "glue" that forms gels useful for 3D printing organic tissues. The key is using custom-designed, complementary DNA strands ...

IBM and 3M have announced that they will co-develop a special adhesive material that will allow silicon to stack in a tower configuration and will be packaged on 3D semiconductors. IBM plans to ...

The new approach – dubbed “3D Pin” – involved forming semiconductor nanocrystals that were suspended in a specially designed colloidal ink. The team then added a molecular “glue” to ...
