"We started our Additive Manufacturing (AM) journey nearly two decades ago initially in prototyping to support our product development. During my time here (11+ years!) we’ve continued this journey and most recently, we’ve been looking at producing our iconic LEGO® bricks with AM to achi...
3D printing, also known as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), is a way to make objects layer by layer from a digital design. Think of it as a building with LEGO bricks, but instead of stacking, a heated print head or nozzle extrudes filament, often PLA, in thin layers until it creates ...

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS for short, is the most commonly used plastic in the industry. It is the flagship material of Lego bricks and is also widely used in car bodies, household appliances and many roofing applications. ABS belongs to the thermoplastic family and has a polybutad...
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a widely used thermoplastic in the injection molding industry. It’s used for applications such as electronic housings, automotive components, and LEGO bricks. Printed ABS matches 80% of the strength of injection-molded ABS, which makes it very useful for ...

3D printing in simple words is the process of starting with nothing and building up material layer by layer until it forms the final 3D object you designed on the computer. Think of it like building with LEGO, but instead of adding bricks, the 3D printer adds melted material instead. ...
The preparation of complex 3D Lego bricks with different brilliant structural color and volumetric color property can also be realized for PS latex particles with different particle diameters (Fig. 1e–n). Therefore, the mechanism of the generation of structural color is further investigated below. ...
Before we get onto my mini LEGO-printing adventure, it is worth covering why this is even possible from a legal standpoint. You've probably noticed that there are plenty of LEGO "compatible" bricks on the market, and the Danish toy company doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. The...
