On a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, the nozzle size dictates how small a detail you can print. Put simply, you can’t print features smaller than your nozzle for the same reason you’d have ...

So here's my problem: I want to change to a .6mm nozzle but when I do it appears that while the spacing of the paths the slicer makes assumes a .6mm line width the amount extruded is woefully ...

Even if you don’t cast or forge metal yourself, you’re probably aware that you need to get the material very, very hot to make that happen. While some smiths might still stoke coal fires, that’s a ...

E3D suggests it will unlock the ability to print with ‘all materials with high abrasion resistance and boosted flow rates’.

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

Imagine having the ability to digitally print the impossible with sub-micrometer precision, on any material and at scale. A spin-off out of ETH Zurich has done just that. Walter Braun, chief operating ...

The Lathon 3D printer has two print heads that operate in sync for integrated two-colour or cross-material prints. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with ...
