At this point, everyone knows that the print quality you’ll get from even an entry level UV resin printer far exceeds what’s possible for filament-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) machines. But ...

Resin or filament 3D printing: Which is best for you? Best answer: You'll want a filament (FDM) printer for printing large models such as cosplay accessories. Resin (SLA/DLP) printers are best for ...

Filament 3D printing, also known as FDM (fused deposition modeling) or material extrusion, involves melting filament which is ...

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

Last spring, the world saw something amazing. It was a device that would revolutionize the planet, save the world, and turn your smartphone into a 3D printer. Kickstarters aren’t known for selling ...

With 3D printing becoming more and more accessible, there still exist a few limitations or practices that come out rather messy. One of these practices is resin stacking which could not only be messy ...

A team of scientists and developers from both the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has put together an impressive resin 3D printer that is ...

While 3D printing is indeed a burgeoning technology, it's limited by the fact that items can typically only be printed from a single material. A new system still uses just one print resin, but that ...

There was nasty gray sludge on the shelf, under a 3D print of a chess rook. It was not the way I wanted to end a long day. The rook was one of the first prints I generated on the original Elegoo Mars ...
