When it comes to FDM 3D prints and making them stronger, most of the focus is on the outer walls and factors like their layer adhesion. However, paying some attention to the often-ignored insides ...
There are some times when a picture, or better yet a video, really is worth a thousand words, and [heinz]’s dual-disk polar 3D printer is one of those projects. Perhaps the best way to describe it ...
There’s another advantage to a CNC-AM hybrid setup: finishing. CNC equipment can produce very smooth surfaces, but a CNC ...
Researchers have developed a generative CAD system specifically for 3D printing. Generative CAD tools have been around for several years, and they are fun to use. They’re quite different from normal ...
