3D printing jigs and fixtures 24/7, the company reports a reduction in lead times of up to 90% on plastic parts compared to traditional CNC Machining, while slashing production costs by 50% in many ...

A recent review article in Composites Part C: Open Access discussed the adoption and application of virgin fused deposition modeling (FDM) polymers in three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ...

At this point, 3D printers are nearly everywhere. Schools, hackerspaces, home workshops, you name it. Most of these machines are of the extruded-filament variety, better known as FDM or Fused ...

Stratasys has announced a new certification program for Stratasys FDM ® 3D printer operators and engineers, the first in a series of certification programs for Stratasys 3D printer users. The program ...

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 ...

From cleanup to air filtration, these heavy-duty 3D printing tools can speed up messy jobs, improve safety, and make projects ...

When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...

There’s currently a struggle between two very different 3D printing technologies, known as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and advanced SLA (Stereolithography). The two methods are very, very ...
