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.
