As defined by Merriam-Webster, if a material is flame retardant, it is “made or treated so as to resist burning.” Or in simpler words, in contrast to flame resistance, where something can operate as normal within fire conditions, anything that is…

Robotics brings together all the technologies that make it possible to design autonomous machines; combining knowledge in electronics, mechanics, and even biology. This is a field that has evolved quite a bit since C-3PO first hit the movie screens in…

The ability of 3D printing to allow users to create highly accurate, fully customizable appliances is crucial in a sector like dental where perfectly fitted parts are necessary due to the vast differences between individuals. For this reason, 3D scanners…

3D printing a part is a process involving several stages – modeling, file preparation, post-processing and so on. One of these is called slicing: it involves cutting your 3D model into a series of layers, and tells the 3D printer…

Additive manufacturing is not limited to small parts and models that can be made at home. Increasingly, we are seeing machines with extremely large build volumes as the technologies continue to industrialize, eliminating the need to assemble different components to…

3D modeling is a key step in the 3D printing value chain, a step that allows the user to imagine the geometry of the part and its functionality. But when you are a beginner, it is difficult to find your…

When it comes to innovative technologies, artificial intelligence and 3D printing are always at the top of the list. Both of these so-called “disruptive” technologies have the potential to completely reinvent the way we manufacture in numerous industries. But what…

The additive manufacturing industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with projections indicating that the 3D printer market will more than double in the next decade. According to a report by Grand View Research, the number of shipped 3D…

Once again, Valentine’s Day has come! But what if you don’t yet have a gift? Don’t panic or run to the supermarket – it’s not too late to give your partner an amazing Valentine gift. If you own a 3D…

The software used for designing a 3D printed part depends entirely on what it is and its complexity. In general, modeling software can be separated into two categories: CAD software and 3D modeling software. In the case of CAD software, it is used to…

Obtaining a 3D file for printing can be done in many ways: free or paid download from a dedicated platform, modeling from an adapted CAD software or 3D scanning via a 3D scanner. Today there are a multitude of solutions…

Support removal can be an annoying part of post-processing in 3D printing. However, it does not have to be. If you have a dual-extruder 3D FDM 3D printer, or any other process that allows multi-material printing, you can take advantage…
