RIT engineering technology researcher Christopher Lewis develops self-healing materials to improve 3D printing processes and ...

Even 3D printers struggle to reliably produce the precise ... That can cause weak bonding between layers, making the part more prone to separation or failure. The researchers sought to address the ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

In this article we troubleshoot printing the first layer and answer questions about inaccurate tolerances in a fused filament fabrication process. The following article is a continuation of our series ...

When you’re spitting out G-Code for a 3D print, you can pick all kinds of infill settings. You can choose the pattern, and the percentage… but the vast majority of slicers all have one thing in common ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Since 3D printers debuted in the 1980s, the devices have been used ...

As is the case with items that are manufactured in more traditional manners, it's certainly possible for 3D-printed products to be counterfeited. A new system could help identify such bogus goods, by ...
