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 ...

I keep up with the trends in 3D printing reasonably well. The other day my friend mentioned that filament thickness sensing had been added to the latest version of the Marlin firmware. I had no idea ...

Once you have bought the latest module, you are unlikely to use the old ones. You might throw them all in the trash, keep them in your junk box, or store them in your attic. They are likely to sit ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
