Learn how to 3D print. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
3D print technology is already advanced but we can expect it to be even more advanced in 2050.3D打印技术已经很先进了，但我们可以预计到2050年它会更加先进。Right now, we have 3D printed tools and homes.现在，我们有3D打印工具和房屋。In the future, we will be able to print more tools, and...
Not too long ago, the idea of 3D printing — creating three-dimensional objects using machines that add layers of material on top of one another — seemed novel. If you say you're going to print something from your computer, most people still think of two-dimensional printing, putting toner...
Step 4 – 3D print Now you can sit back and relax! Or if you’re at work, get on with something else while the printer does its job. Printing times vary depending on the size and detail level of your printed object and your 3D printer type. On an FFF 3D printer such as Ultimaker...
(Image credit: Cults3D) Any design with a “Y” shape is safe to 3D print without supports, “H” has a bridge-like structure, and you can print it too without supports. However, if the bridge is more than 5mm, you must use supports. The designs with a “T” structure need support...
Designing 3D printable objects Creating designs is something I’ll save for another blog post but there are many good places to startlearning how to use Autodesk Fusion 360orBlender for 3D printing. Summary Surprisingly there is a lot of skill required to get a good 3D print. Hopefully, my...
What are the most common 3D printing materials? While it is possible to print in a large range ofmaterials, the most commonly used are metals and plastics. Somewidely used plastics and polymersinclude nylon, polypropylene, ABS, PC, AB, HDPE, PS, PMMA, HIPS, and EDP. And commonly used...
The very first of the thousand steps, if you want to find something new, is to learn to live with uncertainty, and to learn to accept failure as the norm, because looking for the unknown is like being a trapeze...
3D printers can fill a role in virtually almost every industry. They’re not just being used for prototyping. Many 3D printers are being tasked with printing finished products. Theconstruction industryis actually using this futuristic printing method to print complete homes. Schools all over the wo...
However, if you have a heated bed, you’ll still need some sort of adhesion. When you print the first layer, ABS requires something to bind itself to. It might be something as simple as hairspray or ABS juice. We’ve already covered how to make one in our tutorial so you can go an...
