If you use supports for FDM 3D printing, you might find that some designs are more amenable than others to automatically-generated supports. [Slant 3D] , for example, shows a cool-looking eagle wit… ...

3D printing seems to know no limits. Dutch artist Sam Abbott and Nick Allen of 3DPrintUK have created and built the world's first ever 3D printed skateboard. The completed project features an ...

In 3D printing, traditional supports often add time, waste and risk to the process, especially when printing intricate parts. But in a new study published in ACS Central Science, an LLNL team—in ...

3D printing master patterns can reduce the investment casting production time from weeks to days, potentially resulting in up to 75% time savings compared to traditional methods of manufacturing ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to build complex structures, then cleanly dissolves the support material ...
