In this article we troubleshoot printing the first layer and answer questions about inaccurate tolerances in a fused filament fabrication process.

T en years ago, I wrote about the thrill and frustration of being a 3D printing early adopter. I was cutting my teeth on ...

While it’s true that now is the time for direct metal 3D printing, it appears that for the time being the average hacker is stuck with alternative methods for printing metal.

The first 3D printing process, known as stereolithography (SLA), was invented by Charles Hull in 1984 when he used ultraviolet lasers to solidify layers of photopolymer resin.

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium mo… ...

In the realm of modern manufacturing, 3D printing has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing the way we conceive and create objects. At the heart of 3D printing lies the principle of ...
