Delve into the variety of filament options available and discover how to select the perfect material to meet the specific requirements of your 3D printed projects.
In this episode, we talk about a company that is upcycling chewed and unwanted gum to create polymer based products, a software solution to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects, and a Boston based startup that is planning to change the way consumers think about coastal transportation.
Gumdrop Ltd, a company based in London, UK, has developed a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material called Gumtec that is made of up to 30% recycled chewing gum and can be used in shoes, phone cases, and other consumer goods.
Procedural texturing is a technique that can be used to generate surface textures for a variety of applications. This article will guide you through the steps involved in generating and applying a roughness texture, along with three other natural surface treatments: leather, wood, and marble.

In this episode, we talk about the next-gen lunar rover built by Lockheed and GM for NASA’s Artemis mission, how a frustrated tech CEO made a rock-picking robot, and an initiative from University of Manchester to reduce global CO2 emissions by 2% using graphene-enhanced concrete.
Researchers at Manchester University have developed a stronger form of concrete capable of driving down construction costs while substantially decreasing its environmental impact
ABS and PETG are, along with PLA, some of the most affordable and widely used 3D printing filaments for extrusion-style printing. This article discusses the key differences between the two thermoplastic materials.
The founding mission of polySpectra is straightforward: to create engineering-grade materials for additive manufacturing that help designers, inventors, and engineers make their ideas real.
