FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

If you have had a 3D printer for awhile, you know the heartbreak of coming in to check on an 8-hour print only to find that in hour 7 you ran out of filament (or the filament broke) and your printer ...

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...

Researchers created stretchable, conductive CNT composites with 3D printing, powering smart insoles and wearable sensors for real-time health tracking. To overcome these challenges, researchers are ...

3D printing enthusiasts may be interested in a new Bowden 3D printer accessory in the form of Co Print a multi-filament module that can easily be attached to a wide-ranging existing 3D printers ...

A recently developed system could revolutionize the world of 3D printing, by streamlining the adoption of new print media. Such materials could include ones made from all-renewable ingredients, or ...

We break down the pros and cons of the various types of 3D printing materials, from PETG to TPU, to help you figure out which filament is best for your prints. Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s ...

Researchers in Brazil and the UK found a way to turn recycled coffee pods into 3D-printed conductive materials that can be used to create caffeine detectors. With that, they demonstrated one of the ...
