Getting the most out of PLA, and indeed any raw material, is mainly about using the right settings. A high percentage of 3D prints fail either because of a problem with the material or using...

3D printing is a cheaper, faster way to produce once-off clothing items compared to traditional garment-making methods. 3D printing also uses less material so results in less material waste as...

Both 3D printing and subtractive manufacturing are CNC machining processes. This means a computer controls the process. The major difference is that 3D printing is additive. This is why it has the...

3D printed objects degrade when they are exposed to heat. This largely depends on the temperature and the length of exposure. Plastic subjected to heat will warp and experience discoloration. The...

The first layer is the most critical in a 3D print. If the first layer does not adhere to the print bed, there is a high chance the print will warp or fall off particularly if it has an irregular...

Filament is not as toxic as resin, and does not require as much care when working with it. While filament might be safer, especially for beginners, both filament and resin have been linked with an...
