In this episode, 3D Designer and 3D Printing Tutorial Creator Valerian Weber discusses his journey in 3D design and printing, ...
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic that has a number of properties that sets it apart from other thermoplastics which see common use with 3D printing, including PLA, ABS and nylon (PA). Much like ...
It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...
University of Virginia researchers have invented a method of 3D printing with seed-impregnated soil, which could be used to create walls and roofs teeming with plant life. Prototypes built by the ...
Bespoke manufacturing by design and on-demand is the ultimate goal for various fields ranging from biomaterials to structural materials. Today, additive manufacturing is a quick-moving, ...
3D printing’s real value is that you can whip up objects in all kinds of whacky geometries with a minimum of fuss. However, there’s almost always some post-processing to do. Like many manufactured ...
When 3D printing was invented more than 40 years ago, it was a linear process, and its workflow remains essentially unchanged. Typically, users decide on a geometry to print, without precise knowledge ...
