A team of Canadian engineers has taken out one of the world's top design prizes with a 3D printer that prints out customised circuit boards with the press of a button. Claire Reilly was a video host, ...

An Israel-based provider of 3D printing technologies and nano-inks is now shipping a desktop machine to beta customers that can produce multi-layer circuit boards. Nano Dimension’s Dragonfly 2020 is a ...

Update on Nov. 8 at 11:21 a.m. Pacific: Corrected to reflect the printer’s resolution which is 10 mil, not 10 millimeters, and to the timing of its fundraising plans. Cyril Ebersweiler, hardware ...

Supposing you were in the market for a prototype of a circuit board here in 2013 – what kind of process would you have to go through to get one? Certainly one that'd require one whole heck of a lot ...
