Good 3D printers now have multiple hot ends. You ought to be able to print in different colors or print support material. However, a lot of us don’t have multiple hot ends. Turns out, you don’t have ...

3D printing breakthroughs have made it possible for engineers and designers to personalize projects, create physical prototypes at various scales, and build structures that were previously impossible ...

Beckman Institute researchers developed a technique to 3D print and alter structural colors in the visible wavelength spectrum from deep blue to orange. The UV-assisted direct-ink-write 3D printing ...

At this point, everyone knows that the print quality you’ll get from even an entry level UV resin printer far exceeds what’s possible for filament-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) machines. But ...

3D printers are great for homemade toys. But most affordable desktop machines can only print monochrome models. Mosaic Manufacturing, a Montreal-based startup, has created The Palette, a filament ...

With 3D printing becoming more and more accessible, there still exist a few limitations or practices that come out rather messy. One of these practices is resin stacking which could not only be messy ...

3D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, but should you? Before you dive in, here's what to consider—about materials, possible uses, software, and much more. Since 2004, I ...

Aiming to push 3D printing into higher manufacturing quantities, Barcelona-based printer maker BCN3D has created a mechanism for 3D deposition that cuts the print time of strong parts. Like ‘MLSA’ ...

Resin or filament 3D printing: Which is best for you? Best answer: You'll want a filament (FDM) printer for printing large models such as cosplay accessories. Resin (SLA/DLP) printers are best for ...
