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

Although plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic is acclaimed for its biodegradability, it can take quite a long time to degrade if the conditions aren't quite right. Bearing this fact in mind, ...

While municipal corporations and governments around the country wrestle with ways to deal with the growing menace of plastic waste, a method to convert commonly thrown-away plastic into a resin used ...

PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a biopolymer used in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D Printing amongst other things, and the reason it is used so often is for two main reasons. One is that it is quite ...

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 ...

D printers make it simple to create affordable armies for tabletop wargames - provided you meet the very, very specific ...

University of Toronto researchers have succeeded in converting used cooking oil — from McDonald’s, no less — into high-resolution 3D printing resin. Your first response might be: “Why?”, but thinking ...

Testing by NatureWorks’ global partners demonstrates a shrink rate less than 0.25% in printed parts and obtainable lower print temperatures due to optimized melt viscosity & microstructure. MINNETONKA ...

Perhaps the most important part of 3D printing is using the right material for your print job. When considering what building material to use, there are numerous factors to consider, including ...
