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 of a ...

Learn how print orientation impacts 3D-printed part strength and appearance. Explore strategies for better results in your designs.

They focused on gyroid infill, an intricate, repeating internal structure commonly employed in additive manufacturing to minimize weight while preserving structural integrity.

Desktop 3D printers have come a long way over the past decade. They’re now affordable for almost anyone, capable of printing in many diverse materials, and offer a level of rapid prototyping and ...

SustainaPrint uses simulations to reinforce stress zones with strong plastic while the rest prints in greener filament, cutting waste without losing strength. (Nanowerk News) 3D printing has come a ...

The hunt for more sustainable concrete to replace the climate change driving force of Portland cement has hit a massive leap in progression. This progression comes in the form of a new type of ...

3D printing technology is rapidly evolving and has shown promise in applications spanning from the fabrication of biological tissues to the development of ceramics capable of removing persistent ...

Engineers at the University of Maine have developed a groundbreaking method to accurately predict the strength of lightweight 3D-printed objects. This research, conducted at the university's Advanced ...

Some people are skeptical about 3D printing machines like rockets. Their view is that hardware made by precisely spraying hot metal into shape can’t possibly be as strong as hardware assembled using ...

EPFL researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedently strong, light, and ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...
