Almost any plastic or metal can be manufactured by CNC machining. It means that you have more options when selecting the right materials for your CNC machined parts, and it is quite a challenging work to find the exact material that meets all requirements for your product development.
The internal structure of a 3D printed part can be adjusted via 3D printer infill settings, giving users control over variables like part weight and strength, print time, and material usage.
The quality of non-standard component is related to the normal running of whole equipment and material is the key factor for quality, so for designer, it is really important to know the performance and application of different material well.
In this episode, we talk about how a radical change in plastic composition can significantly minimize waste when recycling plastics without compromising material properties and a first of its kind smart fabric with customizable properties which serves as the first step towards a whole new market
Is it possible to 3D print rubber? In a strict sense, no. But with a huge number of flexible filaments and flexible resins out there, it is possible to make pliable, rubber-like parts suitable for a range of applications.
Warping is typically caused by poor bed adhesion and inconsistent printing temperatures. Here’s how to fix the 3D printing problem.
Along with prototyping, additive manufacturing has also found its way into end-use fully functional component production. In many sectors, 3D printing is employed along with conventional technologies like CNC, if not singly.

Durable, flexible, and chemically resistant, PETG is a valuable 3D printing filament with a small price tag. However, the ideal PETG bed temperature is higher than other materials.
Thanks to its durability, chemical resistance, and low shrinkage, PETG filament is fast gaining popularity. However, it can be difficult to print without careful preparation and adjustment of 3D printer settings.
3D printers promise endless applications. However, sometimes reality gets in the way of that promise. One example of where that can happen is when trying to print something that needs to hold water, only to watch it leak like a sieve. Read on to find out to avoid such a tragic waste of liquid.
