What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.
E2IP Technologies manufactures Flexible Heaters using Screen Printing Technology. This is one of the most important segments of printed and additive electronics with applications in cars, homes, and industrial settings.
Here’s what to do if you notice clicking noises, under-extrusion, or other print quality issues caused by extruder skipping on the Ender 3 by Creality.
Unwanted lines in 3D prints can show up for many reasons and take different forms. Here we look at the most common types of lines in 3D prints and how to eliminate them.
KIT researchers are developing a process with which, for the first time, mirrors with a reflection of more than 99 percent can be printed in variable sizes
Amir Barati Farimani is teaching 3D printers to see, diagnose, and self-correct errors in real time using a new large language model. The AI-powered system works with any 3D printer to produce stronger parts and automate quality assurance.
A deep dive into the physics, properties, and practical applications of 3D printing filaments, from everyday polylactic acid to performance composites.
Using a fleet of printers including an UltiMaker S3 and a MakerBot Method X, the team at Ocean Alliance was able to design, prototype, and build a sophisticated drone-based tagging system from the ground up.
The presumption at the beginning of this project was that medical aids like orthosis and splints should not only reflect anatomical parameters and ergonomics but also the lifestyle, preferences, and taste of the user.
In our latest 3D printing podcast episode, we talk to Danielle Glasbergen-Benning, who is an Application Development Specialist for DSM Additive Manufacturing.
In our first episode, we visit L’Oréal headquarters in Clichy, France to chat with Matthew Forester, the company’s Additive Manufacturing Technical Manager.
Our third episode is an interview with key members of the Ultimaker team, who share their knowledge and insight into the evolving role of FFF 3D printing, in both manufacturing and design.
While additive manufacturing enables a totally new era of complex parts, it is still necessary to have a robust toolset that allows an engineer, designer, or product team to fully utilize these new manufacturing capabilities.
With the reusable workflows in nTop Platform and FDM 3D printing, industrial designers are able to rapidly iterate and prototype the design of functional parts.
Julio Aleman, a Bioengineering PhD student needed two different microwell array system with individual wells that would support injection moulding of hydrogels and serve as “master moulds”
The FDM process creates plastic 3D models by superimposing multiple layers of melted thermoplastic polymer material into a predefined area via a computer controlled printing nozzle.
Whether you’re a 3D printing enthusiast who dreams about printing and sharing designs, or an engineer who’s familiar with mechanical or industrial design looking for new ways to use 3D design skills, these ideas will help you better understand how to get started with artistic design for 3D printing.
