A DIYer designed a unique 3D-printed laptop riser that improves cooling and ergonomics. The riser attaches to the bottom of the laptop, eliminating the portability issue of standard stands. The design ...

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 ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers several benefits over traditional methods as it can produce durable parts comprising an outer shell and minimal internal material, reducing both the part’s weight ...

AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) announces that it has succeeded in demonstrating the advantages of its patented Voxelfill process, a 3D printing technique that improves the strength and elasticity of ...

Desiccant is common in 3D printing because the drier plastic filament is, the better it prints. Beads of silica gel are great for controlling humidity, but finding a porous container for them that is ...

The technology continues to evolve, but 3D printing is still mostly used for creating prototypes or parts that won’t have to endure tremendous stresses or rigorous wear and tear. That might not always ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
