Designing has never been so easy, thanks to the introduction of 3D printing technology. If you can imagine, you can create as you imagined. This technology has allowed significant progress and reduce costs in a multitude of sectors such as construction, automotive and medicine.

During September 10, 11 and 12, Filament2print was present at stand 202 at the international Mindtech fair, a benchmark in the industrial sector of the Iberian Pole, sharing a pavilion with other leading companies in the industrial sector both nationally and internationally, and which has received more than 21,000 visitors during the 3 days.

Medicine has evolved greatly and quickly, when performing certain generic operations but there are still risks in interventions where the patient has a problem that needs delicate surgery. Currently the previous problem is decreasing thanks to 3D printing

Since the RepRap and Open Source movement was born in 2005 with the appearance of Dr. Adrian Bowyer's 3D FDM printer, which could be built by itself almost entirely, this sector has evolved a lot to this day. In this article we will talk about 3D printers and components that were key at the time to achieve successful parts.

Technologically speaking, 3D printers are among the most advanced and futuristic devices that we currently have. As access to these equipments is becoming easier and cheaper, there are various areas and sectors that are betting on this technology.

The world of manufacturing prototypes in metal alloys and small series manufacturing has advanced a lot thanks to 3D printing technology. However, there are some traditional techniques that have not disappeared, but evolved.

The famous brand of 3D printers SLA, Formlabs, has revolutionized the world of 3D printing by launching its 3D resin printers, Form 3 and Form 3L, with an optimized manufacturing technology.

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 .

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.

Last Saturday, October 17, the Mini Maker Faire was held in Santiago de Compostela for the first time. In it we met more than 70 makers from all over Galicia to showcase the latest creations in robotics, science, mechanics, 3D printing, drones, laser cutting or the latest innovations in gastronomy and crafts, among other areas.
