Still using the same basic plastic for all your 3D prints? Discover the ultimate upgrades you actually need for stronger, ...

Choosing the right 3D printing filament isn’t just about color or finish—it’s about reliability, print quality, and making your life easier. From understanding material properties to managing moisture ...

Our first 3D printers only printed ABS and PLA plastic. Yeah, we heard about PVA for support structures, but no one could get them to stick. There was also polycarbonate, but you had to have an all ...

Ordinarily, when using an off-the-shelf 3D printer, it's quite difficult to print a single object that incorporates multiple materials. An experimental new system could make it easier, though, by ...

Filament is to 3D printers what gasoline is to cars. You need it in order to run your machine; you can get it from a variety of different places; and it’s available in various levels of quality. Not ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

— Levin Eustice, Rome Corners, Wis. A Ben Cox, engineer at the Morgridge Institute for Research: 3D printing is a process by which we make a piece layer by layer, and the various forms of 3D printing ...

Xenia’s innovation path has expanded into the FDM/FFF 3D Printing sector with the introduction of the 3DF Materials family of products, focused on creating high-performance filaments. This new ...

Researchers used rotational multimaterial 3D printing to pattern active and passive polymers within filaments. The approach ...

Over the years 3D printing has continued to engage and interest people for industrial uses as well as consumers. The consumer models started somewhat expensive, and way out of the ballpark of most ...
