If you’ve printed with an FDM printer, you probably know there are many interrelated factors to getting a good print. One key item is the dryness of the filament. When you first crack your ...
Just how tight are the manufacturing tolerances of modern FDM printer filament. Inquiring minds want to know, and when such minds are attached to handy fellows like [Thomas Sanladerer], you end up ...
While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser cutters -- he also loves to play board games and tabletop RPGs. Expertise 3D printers ...
Filament 3D printing, also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is the most common type of 3D printing. It uses a solid plastic filament (think thin wire) to build your figurine layer by layer.
Technology that used to be only possible in Science Fiction is now slowly turning into reality. 3D printers can make almost ...
FDM printers melt a plastic filament and extrude it layer by layer in order to create a component—making things with the telltale layer lines you probably associate with 3D-printed parts at this ...
Dubai Design Week, the Middle East’s premier design event, served as the global stage for Mitsubishi Estate’s visionary ...
but the one most consumer 3D printers use (including the three we evaluated) is Molten Polymer Deposition (MPD), also referred to as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication ...
