Z offset is an important 3D printer setting that allows users to perfect their first layer. It can be adjusted in slicer software or by inputting G-code commands.
Post-curing is an important step in SLA 3D printing. Knowing how long to cure resin 3D prints and what curing methods to use can help you attain the highest quality parts.
Retraction is a useful feature of FDM 3D printers that helps to prevent common issues like oozing and stringing. Cura retraction settings enable precise control over the retraction process, but the parameters can be confusing to beginners.
Modeled in software before being printed on a commercial 3D printer in a single pass, these "lenticular objects" from MIT show different imagery depending on the angle at which they're viewed — for everything from exercise form feedback to secret messaging.
Imagine you could create thousands of options for a single design the push of a button and then you just pick the best option! Generative design makes this possible.

Brims, rafts, and skirts are FDM 3D printing techniques that can enable better bed adhesion and print stability. Here’s how and when to use them.
Nozzle diameter and layer height can both greatly affect the resolution, printing time, and appearance of 3D printed parts. They are also connected to each other in an important way.
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.

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.
Whether you use a glass plate, PEI sheet, or something else, cleaning your build surface is essential to getting good prints. But how do you do it quickly and effectively, and without damaging the bed?
As an affordable 3D printing filament with excellent mechanical properties, PETG is a must-have material for FDM users. But it is notorious for oozing and stringing during printing.
Using a modified 3D printer small enough to fit on a desk, a research team has successfully printed a fully-functional OLED display panel with impressive performance and flexibility.
