That’s basically what the community-made PolyDye project does, which adds an inkjet cartridge ... the 3D modelling program into both OrcaSlicer (with custom profile) and the inkjet printing ...

Until recently, printing -- on clay, papyrus, cloth or paper -- was always a two-dimensional process. Then, starting in the 1980s, various technologies evolved to add the 'z' axis, which allowed ...

Then the printer simply starts layering slices of whatever material you're printing with (more about that in a moment). If you're interested in learning every step in the process of 3D printing ...

Also called additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping, 3D printing has many advantages over the more traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, where you start with a hunk of metal or wood ...

3D printing is coming of age. Not that long ago, we were still getting excited at machines that could print a 3D model of our head, or a miniature replica of a famous building. A few years later ...

But there’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s only beginning to come into focus: food. Recent innovations have made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale.

This is the current 3D printing technology used in all consumer-grade 3D printers. As a single-extruder, the Da Vinci can work with only one filament cartridge at a time, and the printer doesn't ...
