In this exploration, DaveRig Design discusses how three leading AI models—Trellis AI, Hunyuan 3D, and Roden—stack up in their quest to generate print-ready 3D meshes.

Color gradient filament is fun stuff to play with. It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effec… ...

Personalized 3D printed models created from cardiac imaging data, mainly from cardiac CT images have been increasingly used in cardiovascular disease, primarily in the preoperative planning and ...

The best way to simplify a complex model for 3D printing is to reduce its triangle mesh. Sometimes called decimating, this process takes away a lot of the complex geometry that is great to have ...

One of the major obstacles to the adoption of 3D printing in many markets has been the variability of its output — in terms of dimensional accuracy and material properties such as porosity ...

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF): FFF, also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is the most common method of consumer 3D printing. FFF machines build in successive layers of plastic filament.

On the other hand, 3D POD allows you to create unique, functional products that are only produced after the sale is made. Plus, this method of manufacturing slashes the cost of development.

Asda is trialling 3D printing in its York store The scanner uses three cameras to take pictures of the whole surface area of an object, with the process taking around two minutes to complete. The ...

“This is the first clinical trial of its own where they’re trying to replicate a study in humans with 3D-printed, patient-specific benchtop models,” says Ionita. “We concluded this cardiovascular ...

Quick note on legality: If you choose to rip 3D models from your video games and print them, make sure you’re just printing them for yourself, not to sell. To start, you’ll need a few pieces ...
