With its ability to produce ultra-robust, temperature-resistant final parts, PEEK 3D printing is becoming the manufacturing process of choice for more and more engineers.
With a relatively low melting point (between 150°C and 180°C), PLA is one of the easiest thermoplastics to 3D print. Here’s how PLA melting point factors into choosing the optimal print settings, such as nozzle temperature and print bed temperature.
With its rubber-like material properties, TPU is a versatile 3D printing material that can be used for numerous applications. Here's what you need to know about 3D printing TPU, from filament storage, to printer settings, and more.
ABS is a widely used 3D printing filament with good impact resistance and flexural strength. It also exhibits moderate heat resistance, making it a go-to material for mid-temperature 3D printing applications.
In this article, we look at how three of the most commonly used filaments—PLA, ABS, and PETG—compare in terms of printability, properties, and availability.
In this article, we explore how soft tooling 3D printing works and how it can enhance end-of-arm tooling as well as other applications. We use examples and case studies from BASF Forward AM.
In this episode, we talk about how new additives could be added to concrete to help it absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which is a major contributor to climate change.
