In this episode, we talk about how a team from TUM has developed a system composed of collaborative drones that can create structure in remote and/or disastrous areas.
One of the great plus points of 3D printing is that you can design pretty much any shape or geometry that you want, and Nylon is a great general-purpose material to use. But there are some key considerations to keep in mind when designing nylon parts to make sure you get the parts you want.

An international team of researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers for building and repairing structures in-flight.
3D printing works with a wide variety of 3D printing materials, among which we can find plastics, resins, metals… and even food! In FDM printing, thermoplastics are used, a type of 3D printer material that at high temperatures becomes liquid allowing it to flow, and when it cools down enough (below its glass transition temperature) it becomes solid.

One of the biggest advantages of ABS is its ability to be smoothed with acetone, an organic solvent. But how does the smoothing process work and how can you do it safely?
From temperature settings, to print speed, to build surface, here are our suggestions for improving bed adhesion when 3D printing PETG.
The Creality Ender 3 is a reliable 3D printer, but it can still suffer from issues like oozing and stringing. Adjusting your Ender 3 retraction settings can help solve these problems.
Understanding the basics of infill densities and patterns will allow you to optimize your final 3D print and printing process efficiency.
Caracol has introduced thermal monitoring and Infrared (IR) cameras on our #LFAM technology, to deliver zero-defect production and the best properties on final printed parts.
Flexible electronics have enabled the design of sensors, actuators, microfluidics and electronics on flexible, conformal and/or stretchable sublayers for wearable, implantable or ingestible applications.
In this episode, we talk about how researchers devised a new approach for manufacturing precise microfluidic channels for medical devices using 3D printed ice and a novel approach for embedding sensors into architected materials therefore making them viable for motorized soft robotic applications.
