Growth in 3D printing marches on at an annual 26% clip. While new printers keep increasing the print speeds and range of materials that can be used, data on recycling these materials has been sparse.

Although plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic is acclaimed for its biodegradability, it can take quite a long time to degrade if the conditions aren't quite right. Bearing this fact in mind, ...

Most desktop 3D printers use what's called FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. Another term is FFF (or fused filament fabrication). The idea behind both of these is that a 3D print is built up ...

If you've just started 3D printing as a hobby, you're probably comparing the various filament types, but does the brand ...

From cleanup to air filtration, these heavy-duty 3D printing tools can speed up messy jobs, improve safety, and make projects much easier overall.

Meaningful upgrades that won't break the bank.

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Makers that would like to create more lifelike metal objects using their desktop 3D printer but is already capable of printing with PLA 3D printing filament. Maybe interested in a new filament created ...
