The evolution of 3D printing and the development of new materials are enabling innovative applications in the medical sector. Among the various 3D printing products developed for the medical sector, antibacterial filaments stand out, enabling the manufacture of parts with specific applications.

In this post we will talk about delta 3D printers, their advantages and disadvantages as well as their differences and similarities with Cartesian 3D printers. In addition, we will show you some of the best rated Delta 3D printers on the market.

The most common operating voltage of DC devices is 12 V or 24 V. Both voltages have their benefits but the most important thing is to match the 3D printer’s output voltage to that of the hotend, the extruder, fans or heatbeds. Overpowering or underpowering of the components can have serious consequences.

Conductive filaments are ideal for manufacturing electrically conductive parts or components and for creating wearable devices. Based on its capabilities, results with beneficial properties for many industries will be obtained. The Spanish company Recreus is committed to this material and offers the user a series of tips when using its Conductive Filaflex filament.

Face masks have been part of our lives for years in this pandemic. Now that their use is finally no longer mandatory, old concerns arise: what to do with all that waste? Researchers at several universities seem to have come up with an ingenious solution: turn them into filament for 3D printers.

Lamination is a key process in FDM 3D printing. In this article, you can find a selection of the 5 most used and recommended free lamination software for FDM 3D printer users at the moment.

Additive manufacturing revolutionizes aerospace by providing strength, reliability, speed, and cost reduction. This post explores 3D printing's advantages over traditional methods like injection molding and CNC machining.

3D printing is an established concept that everyone is familiar with. However, engineers and researchers are trying to add another dimension to it and some projects have already succeeded. Hand in hand with 3D printing comes 4D printing. This technology is characterised by the inclusion of a new variable: time.

This post covers essential lamination parameters and their functions, including material-dependent, print profile-defining, and hardware-defined parameters, ensuring comprehensive and efficient print profiles with proper speed and support configuration.

LED-LCD-based resin 3D printers are significantly simpler than other technologies such as FDM or SLS. However, they also require regular calibration and maintenance.

Fused granulate fabrication (pellets) is the primary method in plastic compounding, offering cost-effective custom blends with polymer bases and color/additive masterbatches. A pellet extruder with mixing screws is used for melt blending.

Thermistors are the most common and simplest sensor to implement, as they are connected directly to the printer board, while thermocouples are composed of a bimetallic junction that varies its conductivity depending on the temperature. This post explains the types on the market and the common problems with these sensors.
