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.

The use of 3D printers and other devices in the educational environment makes it possible for students to carry out different projects and activities that reinforce their STEAM skills, learning in a practical way through entertainment.

Desktop SLS technology 3D printers such as Lisa or Lisa Pro from Sinterit have been a revolution. These 3D printers are affordable and offer high quality, ease of use and compact size. Companies such as Rawlplug have embraced the use of this technology to improve their workflows.

Snapmaker 2.0 is the new version of Snapmaker Original and consists of a multifunctional machine that combines 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving and CNC machining, allowing to combine different manufacturing methods for the creation of prototypes or final projects.

A number of R&D projects are currently being brought to life by desktop SLS 3D printing, which offers precision, durability and repeatability. A team of students at AGH University of Science and Technology has developed several electric motorbikes with parts 3D printed using SLS technology.

A research team from the University of Hong Kong is developing a system of 3D printed structures made from sustainable materials to aid coral reef replenishment.

Recreus PP3D filament is a material with great potential for medical and dental applications, providing the opportunity for these sectors to manufacture their own resources tailored to their needs.

IdeaMaker, the powerful laminator developed by Raise 3D, expands its options by allowing the application of textures to model surfaces via a 2D image.

Polymaker has opted for the development of a more environmentally friendly filament, taking care of every detail to create a sustainable and high quality product: PolyTerra.
