One of the continuing struggles with FDM printing is making sure that parts that should fit together actually do. While adding significant tolerance between parts is an option, often you want to have ...

We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research. Researchers at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials ...

The Elegoo Centauri Carbon is a cool-looking 3D printer you can get for $300. I’d never run a 3D printer in my life before this thing showed up at my shop, and I had a few significant hiccups getting ...

Poor orientation can lead to weak spots, rough surfaces, warping, or excessive support structures. A well-chosen orientation, on the other hand, improves structural performance, visual finish, and ...
