Once a person starts in the world of 3D FDM printing, begins to try and consume filament coils encounters a problem, what to do with all those empty coils.

Last Thursday 7 and Friday 8 we were present at the IX annual edition of Lacon Network in A Coruña, along with several of the leading new companies in the technology sector of Galicia, exposing the potential of 3D printing and our latest developments in materials and printers .

PETG and ABS belong to the group of the most consumed materials in the field of 3D printing FDM / FFF, the first for its balance between strength and ease of printing and the second for its great use in the world of the industry since years. The ASA is attracting more and more consumers, above all those who need a high mechanical and environmental resistance.

The PLA and the PETG are two of the most common materials in the world of 3D printing thanks to its ease of printing, good results and wide range of colors.

PETG is the most famous and used copolymer in the world of 3D printing. Its appearance is due to the combination of PET with glycol, improving the interesting properties of PET with a glycolization process.

We have just inaugurated the 2019 calendar, and for this reason we would like to expose the main trends that, from our point of view, will be common in 3D FDM printing.

We recommend those that, for us, are 5 key books about 3D printing. Valid for all types of users, from beginners to experts.

Christmas is about to arrive and with it the opportunity to get 3D printers the most fun and entertaining part, the creation of personalized ornaments and gifts.

To have maximum reliability at the time of printing it is vital to have the maximum number of possible controlled variables, and humidity is one of them to ensure maximum robustness in the printing process.

The theory of color is a group of basic rules in the mixture of colors to achieve the desired effect by combining pigments. By combining 4 basic pigments you can achieve all the colors of the chromatic range. This, which a priori seems very simple, is an art in the press and, led to 3D printing, is still more complex.

The ASA is an amorphous thermoplastic terpolymer material similar to ABS created in 1970 by the manufacturer BASF under the trade name Luran S. The difference between these two materials at the structural level is that the ASA uses an acrylic elastomer and the ABS an elastomer of butadiene.

In the world of 3D printing there is an aspect that is not mentioned very often and that is of vital importance: having the basic tools for the maintenance of the 3D printer.
