To create functional press brake tools, prioritizing wall thickness over infill can be more effective. Thicker walls offer ...

When you’re spitting out G-Code for a 3D print, you can pick all kinds of infill settings. You can choose the pattern, and the percentage… but the vast majority of slicers all have one thing in common ...

[DaveMakesStuff] demonstrates a great technique for 3D printing a sphere; a troublesome shape for filament-based printers to handle. As a bonus, it uses a minimum of filament. His ideas can be applied ...

The researchers tested four different printing patterns, with the lasers either melting the powdered metal back and forth continuously or in distinct square islands and either running parallel to the ...

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has been around in one shape or form for a while. There has been a lot of interest in 3D printing for easing supply chain congestion, especially when it comes ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Michael Molitch-Hou is an additive manufacturing analyst. This article is more than 3 years old. Semiconductor packaging examples ...

Ensuring proper bed calibration is crucial for a sturdy start. Maintaining essential nozzle and extruder maintenance prevents clogs. Adjusting temperature settings optimizes print quality and prevents ...

Researchers have developed a novel method of 3D printing that uses acoustic holograms. The process is called holographic direct sound printing (HDSP). It builds on a method introduced in 2022 that ...

Coffee can do a lot of things: Wake you up, warm you up and lessen that existential dread. According to a new study, it could also help reduce the waste from 3D printing. That’s the vision behind a ...
