Anyone who has operated a 3D printer before, especially those new to using these specialized tools, has likely had problems with the print bed. The bed might not always be the correct temperature ...

In 3D printing, we often talk about leveling the print bed, although that’s not an accurate term. A bed that is level in our terms presents a flat surface that is parallel to the path of the print ...

3D printers have become very popular recently, and while the technology has become more accessible on a consumer level (both in price and comparative ease of use), it's still a bit more involved than ...

3D printer owners searching for a versatile and flexible 3D printing bed may be interested in the new Ziflex, designed to provide easy print removal as well as strong adherence to any material. Watch ...

Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student ...

A team led by aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor Jeff Baur has developed a low-energy, scalable technique that ...

There comes a time when almost everyone struggles to collect costly components for hobby electronics experiments. Let us face it. When a new idea pops up, a profitable strategy is to repurpose some ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. 3D printing is a fantastic hobby that isn't too expensive either. The printer is a one-time investment after which, you only have to spend on ...

Stratasys outlined new technology called Selective Absorption Fusion that will be used for its powder-bed 3D printers, which will be used to expand the company's additive manufacturing systems. In ...

One of the unique challenges of 3D printing is that models that feature structures hanging in mid-air, like the spout of a teapot, also need temporary structures to support the soft extruded plastic ...
