We took a look at some of the strongest 3D printing materials, focusing on filaments for FDM, to see how they differ and ...

The answer is a mix of a historical choice, engineering tradeoffs, and an absolutely arbitrary consequence of what 3D printers actually do. Although filament-based 3D printers have been around for ...

Though still niche, the field of silicone 3D printing has progressed tremendously in the past year. Here are the latest ...

There are times in every 3D print enthusiast’s life when it ... only one we’ve seen over the years. This one by comparison heats the filament in a hair straightener, and relies on gently ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing system that can overcome the challenges of zero gravity and the vacuum of space.

This process pushes a plastic filament through a heated "print head" that extrudes molten plastic in thin layers to build your object. The main materials used for MPD 3D printing are ABS and PLA ...
