Welcome to the most frustrating 3D printing fail: the layer shift. One second the print looks perfect… the next it’s sliding ...

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium moves into place ...

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you can ...

3D printing has changed the world since its inception, influencing everything from simple plastic prototypes to sophisticated, life-saving medical implants. It began in the 1980s as a way to fuel a ...

Engineers from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) in Düsseldorf and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology in Aachen have combined ancient and modern technology by developing a ...

When most people use a printer, what emerges is only paper. But these days you can print a wrench, a working clock or a killer design for a custom motorcycle. Objects designed on a computer can be ...
