AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) announces that it has succeeded in demonstrating the advantages of its patented Voxelfill process, a 3D printing technique that improves the strength and elasticity of ...

Desiccant is common in 3D printing because the drier plastic filament is, the better it prints. Beads of silica gel are great for controlling humidity, but finding a porous container for them that is ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

When working with an FDM 3D printer your first prints are likely trinkets where strength is less relevant than surface quality. Later on when attempting more structural prints, the settings become ...
