We toured several 3D Printer factories, including Prusa Research, Printed Solid, Printerior, and ProtoPasta, to learn how 3D ...

The ABS and PLA that goes into your 3D printer is sold in two forms. The first, naturally, is filament. The second is plastic granules, the raw material for your filament, and costs an order of mag… ...

The Genesis of PLA-HR Filament. Biqu, a leading manufacturer in 3D printing materials, developed PLA-HR filament to meet the specific and demanding requirements of 3D printing airless basketballs.

Wooden PLA filaments are composite materials that combine standard PLA with wood powder. The type, size, and proportion of wood particles vary across brands, directly influencing the filament’s ...

The PLA filament (PLA is short for polylactic acid) allows hobbyists to 3D-print nostalgic novelties, replacement parts, and accessories that match the original color of vintage Apple computers.

ABS and PLA are the two materials used in 3D printing, but not all printers support both options. Here's a rundown of the pros and cons of each material.

That exploration helped me understand a lot about filament. Last week, if you'll recall, I mentioned that PLA made in the US is generally from corn starch. PLA made in Asia is often from tapioca root.

Ground plastic bits go in one end, finished 3D-prints come out the other. That’s the idea behind [HomoFaciens]’ latest build: a direct-extrusion 3D-printer. And like all of his builds, … ...
