Before launching new items, the prototyping phase during the design process uses 3D software and 3D printing service. It is vital to create its sample product and test the core functionality of its appearance and physical parts in a real-world environment. Learn more about prototyping and its importance to engineers and product designers through this… The post Prototyping – Its […]

It’s official – my entire house now uses 3D printed light covers! If you follow this blog you may have seen some of my previous indoor light covers, featuring a 3D scanned sea urchin shell and a pineapple. Of course, I couldn’t stop with indoor lights, especially since the outdoor wall-mounted lights on my house looked like the cheapest fittings […]

My desk is covered with 3D prints, some of them my own designs, and others are just cool examples of what can be done with a home 3D printer. This is one of those examples. Stian Ervik Wahlvaag (@agepbiz) has created a clever range of 3D printed vehicles known as “Tiny Surprise Eggs” – why? Well, because they fit within […]

3D printing is a slooooow process. While 3D printing geeks like me can spend hours watching a printer lay down layers of plastic, it often turns manufacturers off who are used to rapid manufacturing process like injection moulding where parts can be pumped out every few seconds. However, there is a way to produce products en masse and it’s called […]

The first 3D printed school has been inaugurated in Malawi, thanks to 14Trees, a joint venture between LafargeHolcim and the CDC Group, and a BOD2 3D printer from COBOD. The news follows the use of COBOD machines to produce the first 3D printed one-, two-, and three-story buildings in Europe. According to UNICEF, Malawi lacks some 36,000 classrooms, which 14Trees […]

When a budget 3D printer appears in the house, the question immediately arises, ‘What to 3D print?’ But, of course, we know the answer to this question. And we have already prepared a super selection of STL files for you with the best models to 3D print in 2021. Explore the cool things to 3D print for gamers and comic […]

The immediate challenge that beginners face in the 3D printing industry is choosing the ideal printing technology from the different options available. While fused deposition modeling is one of the most common technologies available, resin 3D printers are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their ability to print intricate patterns. If you are thinking about how UV resin can help you […]

Taking up a 3D printing task that fits within your budget is no easy job. There are various factors that you need to consider. You must factor in the costs of 3D printers, 3D filaments and other elements that contribute to the cost of 3D printing. Here’s a quick guide to help you calculate the cost of 3D printing in […]

3D printing in Montreal is seeing an increasing demand in the mould industry for the simple reason that it is of high-quality and is cost-effective. CNC Machining was the traditional method of making moulds, but the process was time-consuming and expensive. As a result, the industry is now showing a preference for 3D printing, which allows the printing of moulds […]

The 3D printing industry is growing and diversifying. Today, 3D printing is used to make kitchen utensils and products too. However, certain dos and don’ts must be kept in mind while making 3D-printed utensils. A food-safe filament coupled with a food-safe coating ensures that the product remains harmless in contact with food. Wondering which these food-safe filaments and coatings are? […]

Starting with ABS & PLA printing can be a little tricky as it requires you to set the right ABS printing temperature and bed adhesion and consider several essentials. However, with the correct guidance, you can achieve rapid prototyping for the desired results. Here are some tips to help you overcome common difficulties while 3D printing with ABS and PLA […]
