What is 3D printer filament made of? This guide examines polymers, additives, and composites, offering practical tips for digital design and hardware engineers.
Discover how to print with high-performance filaments like PEEK, PEKK, and ULTEM. Learn about their properties, hardware needs, challenges, and best practices for industrial-grade 3D printing.
Explore how 3D-Fuel's Pro PCTG filament advances additive manufacturing, offering higher impact strength, improved environmental resistance, and reliable printability for functional and industrial 3D printing applications.
3devo's next-generation desktop extruder combines industrial precision with lab-scale simplicity enabling more controlled, higher-performance and data-driven 3D printing material workflows.
Inkjet printing innovator Quantica has developed a printhead that can print previously un-jettable materials. The technology has implications for the printing of adhesives, coatings, and functional materials.
Soft polymers with the combined properties of electrolytes and traditional polymers offer some unique and desirable properties that can be drastically changed on demand.
3D printing hasn’t been viable up to now as a technology for mass production. It’s still in the early stages of development and different processes are still being formulated.
In the high-octane world of Formula 1, where speed, weight reduction, and rapid development cycles are crucial, it's no surprise that 3D printing has become an indispensable ally.
The ASA glass transition temperature is around 100°C. This makes it slightly easier to print than ABS, while it is also better for outdoor applications due to its good UV resistance.
Henkel Adhesive Technologies holds leading market positions worldwide in the industrial and consumer business. As a global leader in the adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings markets, Henkel has developed a large material portfolio of LOCTITE® conductive inks ...
Being first to finish is always top of the agenda, especially when getting your product to market. Those extra moments with less competition could make or break a brand and/or its product.
3D printing is transforming the automotive industry. Custom parts and tools can now be 3D printed overnight, ready to optimize production processes the next day. This innovation enhances assembly ergonomics, reduces errors, and boosts operator satisfaction and productivity.
Finland's largest 3D printing workshop is at Espoo's Aalto University School of Arts and Design, where a total of 35 UltiMaker 3D printers (UltiMaker 2+Connect and UltiMaker S7 ) are in use. In the 3D printing industry, such a unit is called a "farm".
As manufacturing technologies evolve, they present new opportunities for manufacturers throughout the product life cycle. More and more product developers are choosing to pivot from one production method to another or are transitioning between them to suit their needs.
