If it is too much to understand, you can assume that 3D Printing as similar as printing files from a printer, but using different technologies. Printing a piece of paper, you just need a document such as word, PDF or excel which are all 2D. While printing an object, you will need 3D...
Choose a flat and level surface to work on, such as a table or desk. When the canvas is laid down flat, it’s easier to ensure that each drill is positioned correctly.It also helps the diamonds adhere to the canvas, preventing them from slipping off or shifting. Step 2: Coat the tip...
Before we get into the supplies you need, I have to point out some SAFETY POINTS. Epoxy resin is not a kid friendly material. This is a project for older teens and for adults to make for younger kids. I use a zero VOC (volatile organic compound) resin, and I highly recommend using ...

Step 2: Mix Your Resin Let’s jump right in. For this little “how to mix resin” demo I grabbed an easy to use coaster mold… you can use any silicone mold you have handy but these little coasters are a fun beginner level project that can really turn out amazing! To start I picke...
Discover the inner workings of a 3D printer and its impact on your world. Dive into the realm of 3D printing technology.
Why use 3D Printers for Rapid Prototyping? In short: it’s fast and relatively cheap. From idea, to 3D model to holding a prototype in your hands is a matter of days instead of weeks. Iterations are easier and cheaper to make and you don’t need expensive molds or tools.Besides rapid...
Today’s advanced 3D printers are capable of using one or more types of raw materials for creating objects. The materials that they can use include plastic, metals, resin and polymers. Applications Of 3D Printing The rapid growth and improvements in 3D printing technology have enabled many indust...
It was not so long ago when resin-based 3D printing was described as “not for beginners.” Whileresin printingis not technically difficult, it can be quite a messy activity. One step that can potentially make a mess is washing. Uncured resin has to be rinsed off using 99% isopropyl alco...
