It is always tricky setting the infill for a 3D printed part. High infill parts are strong but take longer to print, while low infill prints take less time, but are weaker internally and in danger of ...

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 ...

Adaptive layer height saves time and filament by adjusting layer thickness based on model geometry. Dropping perimeter count to 2 reduces waste, print time, and nozzle artifacts without compromising ...

MakerBot has revealed its latest update for its desktop 3D printing software, and it has the company's MakerBot models printing 30 percent faster—all thanks to a new, cutting-edge infill pattern that ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an advanced manufacturing technique with plenty of promise that requires the development of new methods for inspection and validation. The technique of dynamic micro-CT ...
