The hotend is probably the component of the FDM 3D printer that requires the most maintenance. This article explains the maintenance guidelines to keep it in good condition to ensure good print quality and minimise the risk of failure.

When designing and preparing parts for 3D printing it is very important to take into account the resolution limit of our equipment. It is advisable to avoid elements with a smaller size, as the printing quality of these elements will be very low and in many cases, the laminating software itself will omit them.

The advances that have taken place in recent years have allowed many companies to have 3D printers in their facilities for the manufacture of prototypes or final parts. This article outlines the advantages of this manufacturing method for prototyping and how to choose the right technology according to the requirements of the application.

The manufacture of furniture using 3D printing offers numerous advantages for both designers and end users. This article unveils some of the possibilities offered by this manufacturing method in the furniture sector.

When 3D scanning an object, the user must take into account several useful factors when choosing the right equipment and, if necessary, using additional tools or products.

With the help of devices, tools and games, it is possible to foster STEAM skills in children and teenagers both at home and in schools. An example of this is Formbox, which allows a multitude of projects to be carried out to learn complex concepts in a practical way.

Advanced filaments for industry typically lack compatible support materials due to their high melting points. However, Infinite Material Solutions now offers a new soluble support material meeting these criteria, enabling complex part manufacturing with FDM 3D printing.

Desktop manufacturing equipment helps users to control their production process from start to finish without having to rely on external companies to produce professional quality products.

Thermoforming is a process that consists of heating a sheet or sheet of thermoplastic, so that when it softens it can be adapted to the shape of a mould by the action of pressure and vacuum. This is undoubtedly an enormously versatile and relatively inexpensive manufacturing process, very widespread in industry and very useful in the prototyping process.

As with other 3D printing technologies, in SLS 3D printing it is crucial to know what the printing costs will be for each 3D printed part. This article explains how to know the approximate costs of 3D printing with the SLS 3D printers Sinterit Lisa and Sinterit Lisa Pro.

Ultrafuse and Filamet are the metallic filament ranges from renowned manufacturers BASF and The Virtual Foundry. We analyse the differences, advantages and disadvantages of these materials.

In this post we will make a small introduction to the world of 3D scanners. We will explain what types there are, how they work and how to get from the point cloud to the final digital model.
