How to Make 3D Printed Parts Stronger? The strength of 3D printed parts depends on several factors, including the material used, the structural design, part orientation, and the printing process. Strength can vary significantly with 3D materials and the printing process. For example, ABS plastic ...
New academic research is claimed to show that patterns inspired by lobster shells can make 3D printed concrete stronger, to support more complex and creative architectural structures. In a new experimental study, researchers at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University in Australia have...
The first key to success is making sure you have the right tools. That means having the right 3D printer and accessories. With polypropylene, only a couple of upgrades are recommended if they do not already come stock with your machine. FDM printers that have the electrical hardware to print...
Theinfill percentageis one of theprinting parameters to set on the slicer software. It determines the amount of material that the user wants to have inside the part, knowing that the outline perimeters,forming the shell of the 3D object, will still be printed on ...
Successfully produce 3D printed parts out of polypropylene filament with these tips on achieving stronger bed adhesion and minimizing shrinkage. How to Succeed with 3D Printing Metal on a Desktop 3D Printer The time is here to explore easy and affordable metal 3D printing. 3D printing with real ...
A look at different 3D printing post-processing methods for ABS, PLA, and VeroBlack 3D printed parts, using a simple Apple Watch stand design.
Discover the inner workings of a 3D printer and its impact on your world. Dive into the realm of 3D printing technology.
Aviation loves additive manufacturing, largely due to the promise of lightweight and stronger structures offered by 3D printing. We’ve seen a whole bunch of innovations in the domain of aviation lately, with the appearance of more critical parts being printed....
Walls that are too thin make small parts on the model unable to be printed or very fragile, with a high chance of breaking. Assess your printing material and the height of your wall to determine whether it needs additional support. A wall that's already bolstered by ribs or webs (we'...
(SLS) printed parts. The newly acquired 3D printing technology significantly improved the team’s work processes. Fromrapid prototypingtoend-use parts, the Form 3+ transformed TUM Boring’s day-to-day operations, and helped the team win the second edition of the Not-a-Boring Competition in ...
