The ABS and PLA that goes into your 3D printer is sold in two forms. The first, naturally, is filament. The second is plastic granules, the raw material for your filament, and costs an order of mag… ...

This issue of Advanced Manufacturing TOE highlights innovations in digital garment manufacturing, 3D printing using digital light processing and fused filament fabrication, robot programming, and ...

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

This article is the first of its kind to investigate printable high-impact polystyrene/reduced graphene oxide composite filaments. The method employed was fused filament fabrication, and the produced ...

3D printer manufacturer XYZprinting is launching a first of its kind: a fused filament fabrication 3D printer that offers full CMYK printing by incorporating inkjet printing into the build process.

In fused filament fabrication, the most popular 3D printing process, a plastic or metal is melted and extruded through a small nozzle by a printer head and then immediately solidifies and fuses ...

Most desktop 3D printers use what's called FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. Another term is FFF (or fused filament fabrication). The idea behind both of these is that a 3D print is built ...

PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a biopolymer used in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D Printing amongst other things, and the reason it is used so often is for two main reasons. One is that it is ...
