3D printing news

In the world of FDM/FFF desktop printing, the importance of the 3D model and the platform it is stored on is almost as important as the printer itself. From CAD programs to slicer programs, software is key to a successful…

Binder Jetting is one of the various additive manufacturing processes currently available on the market. It works in a similar way to other 3D printing methods, but it is based on the use of a liquid binder in the form…

As much as additive manufacturing has benefitted the general public, the defense sector has also made great gains with 3D printing. So much so that additive manufacturing in the military is expected to be worth $1.7 billion in just a…

According to scientists worldwide, 2023 has been the hottest summer in history. Understandably, this has drawn ever more people not only indoors but to air-conditioned areas to find relief. However, unfortunately, AC units is not the most environmentally friendly. Not…

In 2022, the global pharmaceutical industry was valued at $1.4 trillion, but it has only been in the past few years that more buzz has surfaced about 3D printed medications and how their production could revolutionize the way we take…

One of the most intriguing aspects of 3D printing is that the technologies are constantly evolving. Even those that have been around the longest, notably FDM and SLA which originated in the 80s, are subject to new innovations, improving experience…

In recent years, 3D printed structures and housing construction projects have been growing around the world both in scale and scope. Depending on the materials used, 3D printed buildings offer multiple advantages over conventional construction, including fire resistance, local or…

One of the greatest challenges facing biologists is preserving the world’s delicate biodiversity by saving endangered animals. We have all heard of the most famous examples like black rhinos, mountain gorillas, African forest elephants, orangutans and of course hawksbill sea…

Come one, come all! Welcome to another top 5 videos of the week where we will get behind the wheel of Purdue’s 3D printed solar race car, learn about developing technologies at the cutting edge of the industry, and how…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of biotechnology, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged as a beacon of hope for transforming healthcare and addressing critical medical challenges such organ transplantation, tissue engineering, drug testing and development, personalized medicine, nerve regeneration, disease modeling,…

In the 3D printing landscape, the extruder configuration you choose can make all the difference between a successful, flawless print and a frustrating trial-and-error process. FDM 3D printing extruders come in a variety of shapes and forms, but despite the…

Often FDM 3D printers are associated with a single extrusion head, also called an extruder, which melts and then deposits the filament on the printing plate layer-by-layer. However, increasingly, it is possible to find FDM machines that come equipped with two…
