Part strength is sometimes seen as a weakness of 3D printing. But how strong are 3D printed parts really, especially compared to injection molding?
The most popular 3D printing filament, PLA is known for many things, like its good printability and ability to withstand warping. When it comes to temperature resistance, however, the material has its limitations. In this article, we're diving into PLA's thermal properties and comparing them to other common filaments.
Slicing software has been around since the very beginning of 3D printing, with digital slicing of STL files being one of the key features of Chuck Hull’s first stereolithography system. However, in the time since, slicing software has evolved beyond its base functions of simply converting 3D object models into machine instructions.

3D printing elephant foot is a common issue that most 3D printer users will have experienced. Typically caused by excessive heat or poor nozzle calibration, the issue can be solved in several ways.
Micro-fabricated nozzle plates are used in various industries, such as inkjet printing, medical devices, and flow control. Manufacturing these nozzle plates requires precision and accuracy to achieve the desired performance. Several production technologies can be used to manufacture micro-fabricated metal nozzle plates, such as 3D printing, Laser Cutting, Micro Milling, Micro Punching, and Electroforming. In this article, we will introduce these production technologies, and illustrate how to find your preferred process for the production of micro-fabricated nozzle plates based on key features such as precision, customization, scalability, and material compatibility.
In this article, we look at the importance of using a 3D printer air filter to remove potentially harmful fumes from the print environment, as well as the different kinds of filter available and how to ensure proper maintenance.
