Plastic is the most popular material used for 3D printing and the cheapest one. We decided to make this ordinary topic a bit funnier than it really is and compared…

Duke University has been responsible for several interesting developments related to 3D printing lately, and a lot of those developments have been related to new 3D printing materials and methods….

In the increasingly expansive 3D printing industry, new printers and materials seem to be flooding the market on a daily basis. While the creation of new and enhanced materials are…

Graphene 3D Lab‘s business is pretty obvious just from their name: they manufacture and sell graphene 3D printing materials. As graphene is the wonder material of the moment, that’s not…

There’s some scary stuff out there on the Internet – and a lot of it is 3D printable. Instructables is a hive of creative ideas for and by makers of…

While graphene is still being studied by researchers and scientists, it is likely to be one of the most important elements of the future. At more than 100 times stronger than…

With the discovery of an easier way to produce graphene material a few years ago, the world of electronics promised to never be the same. The material is incredibly versatile…

The endgame for 3D printing has always been the ability to 3D print complete objects regardless of their complexity. While there are already expensive, industrial 3D printers equipped with high-end…

Graphene 3D Lab, developer of specialty conductive filaments, has just launched a new web portal that offers users free downloadable functional 3D printing projects. ShareStation3D will allow 3D printing enthusiasts…

While many innovators and inventors are trying to come up with new ideas for enhanced 3D printer hardware, the true advancements in 3D printing will occur within the material space….

There are some things you just don’t know you need until you see them realized as actual objects, and this may well be one of those things – a 3D…

With the 3D printing materials space expanding each and everyday, it’s those companies which are willing to spend capital resources to expand their presence that will ultimately win out in…

Ryan Sybrant, Senior Manager, Global Manufacturing Solutions Sales at Stratasys, took the stage on the second day of the RoboUniverse Conference & Expo to speak at the 3D Printing and Robotics…

If you are like me, then you often find yourself daydreaming about the technologies of the future. My recurrent dream recently has been about a future where we print just about…

Two years ago, if you asked me what desktop 3D printers could possibly be used to create, my answer would have been very short. You would have been limited to…

There are a handful of 3D printer filament manufacturers that have really been pumping out all sorts of new materials as of late. One such company is ProtoPlant, which is…

Material choices continue to expand within the 3D printing space. We now have metal-like filaments, wood-like filaments, filaments with carbon fiber in them, and more. One filament option which is…

My youngest son has always had a thing for flashlights — put one in his hand and he can’t put it down. He’ll gladly show you the way in the…

Science and technology are areas of study where one tiny spark can ignite the flame of innovation, especially when bright minds are working together. Frustration and need are also great…

If you were to ask most 3D printer users what their largest qualms are with current FDM 3D printing technology, one answer would likely be the large layer widths and heights, while the…
