In the realm of manufacturing, CNC machining and laser cutting and engraving play pivotal roles in both subtractive and additive processes. These technologies complement each other in providing versatile solutions for crafting intricate designs with high precision on a wide range of materials. When integrated into a 3D printing workflow, CNC machines and laser engraving and cutting devices enhance the overall manufacturing process.

BASF and Xioneer join efforts to validate the Xioneer VXL soluble support filaments for the BASF Ultrafuse materials, thsus solving one of the limitations in high speed FDM 3D printing - the lack of specialized support materials that could keep up with the elevated extrusion speeds.

Raise 3D announces the DF2 Solution at Formnext, marking a significant milestone for their professional and industrial solutions.

The main advantage of compact SLS 3D printers is material efficiency. With the proper laminating, printing and post-processing practices, the production costs can be further optimized and 1 kg of SLS powder can be used to its maximum potential.

FDM 3D printing is one of the most accessible additive manufacturing technologies for those who want to create their own personalized functional gadgets, decorations, toys, games, dioramas and more. Find out what and how you can make with your FDM 3D printer.

Microwave sintering presents numerous advantages over conventional sintering but it has its limitations too. Read how the French CRISMAT labs overcame those in a microwave sintering experiment featuring susceptors 3D printed with the Zetamix White Zirconia filament.

Recently, the concept of high-speed FFF 3D printing has become very popular with the launch of the Hyper FFF kit for Raise3D's Pro3 series, followed by high-speed print features on the Bambulab X1, Ankermake M5, Prusa MK4 and Creality K1. Are these promises of up to 5 times faster print speeds without compromising on quality realistic?

The Nexa3D ultrafast open-materials XiP desktop 3D printer and an ample portfolio of professional 3D printing resins offer truly competitive and cost-efficient resin 3D printing solutions for various industrial applications.

Last week we were present at the International Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Fair (Addit3D) held in Bilbao, where we presented our latest innovations in professional additive manufacturing equipment.

Printing 3D models encourages the development of skills by involving students in the process and getting them to adapt to changes and correct mistakes. In this way, learning is not only based on observation, but also on printing files that you have created yourself.

There are numerous certified biocompatible 3D printing materials, especially resins, available on the market. But the certified biocompatibility of a material does not mean a 3D printed piece will have the same properties.

Temperature-induced shrinkage occurs in 3D printing materials, ranging from 0.3% to 4.0%. It often leads to warping, layer separation, or size changes. Selecting the appropriate 3D printer, whether open or with a heated chamber, is crucial for each plastic type.
