With Most printers do not come with filament included, and if they do, it is usually a tiny small roll (around 200 grams of PLA filament). Thus, one has to buy their first roll of filament with a...
Fused deposition modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA) and Selective laser sintering (SLS) are the most dominant 3D printing processes. Fused deposition modeling uses thermoplastic filament,...
A computer makes the workflow of 3D printing much simpler. While printing from a tablet device like an Ipad is possible, it does present a few challenges. For example, slicing models and preparing...
3D printing is used to produce a wide variety of electronic components. 3D printing is cheaper and faster than traditional subtractive manufacturing. This makes it especially suited for prototyping...
Strength in a 3D print is mostly a factor of the bond between layers. The stronger the bonds the stronger the print. Several tests as well as anecdotal evidence conclude that layer height can affect...
A 3D printer works without an internet connection. Designs can be read and printed from a portable storage device such as an SD card or USB flash drive. Alternatively, they can be printed directly...
