We’re all too familiar with the 3D printing post-processing step of removing supports, and lamenting the waste of plastic on yet another dwindling reel of filament. When the material is expensive ...

In the metal AM process, supports in anchor parts prevent distortion. Support structures are made of the same materials as the part and prevent distortion, but add considerable design and ...

[MakerSpace] wanted to 3D print an RFID card holder. On one side is a slot for a card and on the other side has recesses for the RFID antenna. They used these to control access to machines and were ...

Learn how print orientation impacts 3D-printed part strength and appearance. Explore strategies for better results in your designs.

Japanese-based equipment manufacturer and developer Enomoto Kogyo has this week unveiled a new 5-axis Hybrid 3D printer they have developed in collaboration with Shizuoka University of Art and Culture ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

Hearing aids, mouth guards, dental implants, and other highly tailored structures are often products of 3D printing. These structures are typically made via vat photopolymerization—a form of 3D ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...
