Scroll and Diaphragm Nozzles with Gear Pumps: A Better Way to 3D Print?
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, also referred to as material extrusion, is a technique that deposits heated material through a nozzle in order to fabricate parts and components. Rollers in the extruder generate enough pressure to squeeze material into a...
Join the Formlabs Webinar: Workflow on SLA 3D Printing Tuesday September 18
Formlabs pioneered the desktop stereolithography market. The firm was also the first to introduce Pro desktop 3D printers geared towards the high tolerance and precision parts on the desktop. The Form 1 and the newer Form 2 3D printers have grown in number and are...
Arizona State University and PADT Receive Grant to Research Biomimicry and 3D Printing
Biomimicry is the the practice of basing design off of natural structures, such as honeycombs, for example. It has been used frequently in conjunction with 3D printing, as researchers, designers and engineers take advantage of 3D printing’s ability to create...
Could Your Next Headphones Use 3D Printed Metamaterials?
We’ve often seen 3D printing used to fabricate headphones and earbuds. But a team of researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow are taking this idea to the next level with acoustic...
Study Subjects Prefer 3D Printed Splints to Conventionally Manufactured Ones
Occlusal stabilization splints are prescribed for people who tend to clench or grind their teeth. They’re typically worn at night, and while some people tolerate them well, others find them highly uncomfortable, sometimes to the point of noncompliance. But as 3D...
Lowering Production Costs For 3D Printed Medical and Dental Models Through Desktop 3D Printers
3D printed patient-specific organ models are used in many areas of medicine for various reasons, including surgical pre-planning, medical training, and providing a better explanation to the patient of what’s going on inside their body. 3D printed models of hard...
Tethon 3D and University of Nebraska to Develop First Ceramic and Metal DLP 3D Printer
SLA and DLP 3D printing are, for the most part, polymer 3D printing technologies. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be used with metal and ceramics, however. Omaha, Nebraska-based company Tethon 3D specializes in ceramic resins for DLP 3D printing, in...
Study Shows Anisotropic Properties of 3D Printed Nickel Super Alloy K418 (713C)
3D printing materials don’t just suddenly appear and get put to use without further thought – there is a great deal of study that goes into them, particularly metal materials. Their behaviors and properties must be known in order to make sure they perform....3DPrint.com Highlights & Resources
