FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Once you have bought the latest module, you are unlikely to use the old ones. You might throw them all in the trash, keep them in your junk box, or store them in your attic. They are likely to sit ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

Explore the future of 3D printing: smarter, faster, and more precise technology solving challenges like material waste and quality issues.

If you have had a 3D printer for awhile, you know the heartbreak of coming in to check on an 8-hour print only to find that in hour 7 you ran out of filament (or the filament broke) and your printer ...

Christopher Robertson has created a new 3D printer filament roller and feeder which offers an all-in-one IR sensor and alarm to detect all filament feeding errors automatically to help stop your ...

As desktop 3D printers have inched towards something resembling the mainstream, manufacturers have upped their game across the board. Even the quality of filament that you can get today is far better ...

Researchers created stretchable, conductive CNT composites with 3D printing, powering smart insoles and wearable sensors for ...
