Likly not coming to you infill pattern library anytime soon, but UCL researchers have 3D printed and compression-tested a “triply twinned” lattice that is up to 380% stiffer and 279% stronger than a conventional cubic lattice at similar material density. It's a potentially useful upgrade for lightweight aerospace, automotive, robotic, implant, and heat-exchanger parts where every gram has to earn its keep.
eSun's new PLA-Coffee turns used coffee grounds into a filament that smells like freshly brewed coffee when you print.
A new Navy standard will make metal 3D printing far easier to use in submarine construction and repair, allowing approved AM materials and processes to replace conventional welding and forging.
If you don't know what to do with your filament leftovers, check out these small 3D prints and don't let that last meter go to waste!
Having your Bambu Lab A1 with an enclosure will help you print engineering-grade materials, but comes with extra risk.
Meshy’s latest image-to-3D AI engine is all about alignment, making the generated model actually resemble the image you fed it before you get to the mesh.
A recent federal decision striking down ATF regulations on unfinished firearm components raises new constitutional questions for states attempting to technologically block the 3D printing of guns at home.
Choose the ideal alloy or polymer for high-heat exposure, chemical resistance, and tight tolerances using PCBWay's comprehensive material catalog.
Forget awkwardly holding parts together while explaining where everything goes. Bambu Studio’s new Model Assembly Guides feature in the 2.8.0 Public Beta lets you present an exploded view of your project directly in the software and automatically split the model into assembly steps downloadable as PDFs or MP4s.
Heidelberg University researchers developed a 3D printing resin that a chemical trigger can break down into its molecular building blocks within seconds at room temperature, allowing the material to be remade into polymer and reused. The recycled material retained the original’s molecular composition and properties, pointing to a possible future where your high-resolution resin prints could be recycled into new printable material instead of discarded.
The new polymer formulations target two familiar material headaches: moisture-sensitive PETG and brittle silk PLA.
