The use of 3D printing in research and teaching has significantly grown in the past years and has had a major impact on scientific practices. Despite the growing adoption driven by ever decreasing printer prices, the barrier to entry for 3D printing in research laboratories is still high due to the lack of basic reference material targeted at the scientific community. In this Feature, we introduce 3D printing as a tool for use in research laboratories, bridging the gap between scientists and 3D printing technology. This is not another 3D printing review but rather a guide which will help scientists to recognize the usefulness of 3D printing and to make an informed buying decision on their first 3D printer.
