On a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, the nozzle size dictates how small a detail you can print. Put simply, you can’t print features smaller than your nozzle for the same reason you’d have ...

[Lost in Tech] set out to examine a variety of 3D printing nozzles. Before he got there, though, he found some issues. In particular, he found that his current crop of printers don’t take the standard ...

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

A rotating nozzle that can print with multiple different materials at the same time has been used to print helix shapes with intriguing properties. The researchers who developed the system have ...

Johannes T. B. Overvelde is in the Soft Robotic Matter Group, Designer Matter Department, AMOLF, Amsterdam 1098 XG, the Netherlands. The 3D printing of soft or biological materials is often achieved ...

Many 3D printers on the market offer very small print volumes requiring larger designs to be printed in a multiple smaller sections which are then fabricated together to make the final design. The ...
