We’re all too familiar with the 3D printing post-processing step of removing supports, and lamenting the waste of plastic on yet another dwindling reel of filament. When the material is expensive ...

Anyone who’s spent some quality time with a desktop 3D printer is familiar with the concept of supports. If you’re working with a complex model that has overhanging features, printing a “scaffolding” ...

In the metal AM process, supports in anchor parts prevent distortion. Support structures are made of the same materials as the part and prevent distortion, but add considerable design and ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

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 ...

I'm working on 3d-printing a part that will mate a Fein shop vac to an enclosure for a CNC mill. The Fein has an externally-threaded nozzle attachment, so I'd like to print a matching ...

A new 3D printing method uses light to form hydrogels without free radicals, enabling safer biofabrication with fine detail and compatibility for sensitive materials like proteins and soft tissues.
