As 3D printing and additive manufacturing become mainstream, an influx of professionals who specialise in this area will be needed. Therefore, a number of universities have already started offering additive manufacturing and 3D printing university degrees. These […]
What is slicer software? The slicer, also called slicing software acts as the middleman between the 3D model and the 3D printer. Once you have modelled the object you would like to 3D print, you will have […]
Space is both scary and fascinating at the same time. Its infinite emptiness and mystery gives most people an existential crisis. However, recent advancements mean that we are starting to understand, and even experiment with space. […]
3D printing can be considered a greener manufacturing method because it allows for just the material needed to be consumed. By contrast to subtractive production techniques that by definition waste resources when producing. Some projects in […]
Appearing at the end of the 1970s, laser triangulation technology paved the way for new technology capable of 3D scanning objects. Usually reserved for industrialists, this tool has gradually evolved over time, allowing us to easily find affordable […]
It’s that day of the year again, February 14th. The day of love and romance has come, but don’t panic – it’s not too late to give your partner an amazing gift. If you own a […]
While 3D printing is gaining ground in the industrial sector, it is also present on a smaller scale in homes, open spaces or even parks and streets. We have noticed more and more 3D printed furniture […]
Often it is believed that personal FDM 3D printers are limited to only making smaller models, although companies are innovating towards offering machines that are larger than before. From the Duplicator 5S to Wanhao, discover our list […]
3D printed vehicles have become a reality thanks to additive manufacturing. They offer cost-effective, eco-friendly, lightweight solutions to the automative industry. As of now, they are not widely available however, the time will come when they […]
Back in October 2018 we compiled a ranking of the best large volume 3D printers under $ 5,000. Over the last few years, we have seen manufacturers offer bigger and bigger 3D printers. Therefore, we thought […]
3D printing has grown exponentially in recent years, much of this growth is due to the people who are behind the technological developments and large companies in the industry. Because of this, we have followed the personalities […]
Throughout every year, we present you with the monthly new, innovative #3DStartup and learned more about their exciting applications. Whether it is software or hardware, the applications were in sports or construction it is all interesting. Regardless […]
We see new 3D printers everywhere, but in 2103 the first 3D pen came onto the market, the 3Doodler, which has revolutionised the world of gadgets and has made the scope of 3D printing much more […]
Drones are a trend that is growing every day and 3D printing is the technology that is driving these developments. Drones are used inside the cinema, for surveillance, for delivery of packages or simply for recreational purposes. […]
Advancing technology in additive manufacturing has led to 3D printers becoming more accessible to the masses. Once only available to industrial manufacturers, you can now buy desktop 3D printers for under $1,000. These printers may not […]
Halloween is tomorrow, and costumes are at the hight. It is the season to dress up and explore a different world of fantasy and scares. But if you still haven't found your final halloween costume or […]
We are in October and Halloween is creeping in on us. The season is full of incredible costumes and unnerving decorations. So how can 3D printing help take it all up a nudge? We checked up […]
In 1986, an American named Chuck Hull created the first 3D printing technology. This technology today is known as stereolithography or SLA. These SLA 3D Printers, which is based on photo-polymerization, uses a laser on a […]
We often report on the latest research, innovations, and developments within additive manufacturing. But what about the bright minds, the entrepreneurs in 3D printing that are actually behind it? There are hardly any limits when it comes […]
As 3D printing is becoming more and more widely spread. Various FDM machines are being produced to accomodate the need. For these machines there are the "standard" plastics such as pure ABS, PLA and PET. 3D printing is worked […]
