There’s a lot to like about resin 3D printing. The detail, the smooth surface finish, the mechanical simplicity of the printer itself compared to an FDM printer. But there are downsides, too, not ...
3D printing may print 3D objects but the process itself, which involves layering of materials, is primarily a 2D affair. However, researchers have set out to change that with a new process that they ...
Have you ever watched a 3D printer at work and just been amazed? It’s like seeing a little bit of magic happen right before ...
Although plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic is acclaimed for its biodegradability, it can take quite a long time to degrade if the conditions aren't quite right. Bearing this fact in mind, ...
The Anycubic Photon Mono X was originally released in the year 2020 with a promise of relatively large, fast, inexpensive 3D prints. This device is an SLA (liquid resin) 3D printer, made to deliver ...
At this point, 3D printers are nearly everywhere. Schools, hackerspaces, home workshops, you name it. Most of these machines are of the extruded-filament variety, better known as FDM or Fused ...
With 3D printing becoming more and more accessible, there still exist a few limitations or practices that come out rather messy. One of these practices is resin stacking which could not only be messy ...
Aiming to push 3D printing into higher manufacturing quantities, Barcelona-based printer maker BCN3D has created a mechanism for 3D deposition that cuts the print time of strong parts. Like ‘MLSA’ ...
While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...
