The earliest record of 3D printing through the additive process dates back 40 years when Japanese inventor Hideo Kodama created a device that uses ultraviolet light to harden polymers and created solid objects. 3D printing is slowly becoming a part of a lot of industries for its quick, easy, and cheap production that helps companies…

3D printer assembly kits are easy to screw up. They’re designed to keep their costs down, which means corners might be cut and details that you desperately need may be lost. But once in a while, a company knows how to transcend the limitations of the genre, and delivers an excellent quality that you can […]

You might have collected Bitcoin through a trading website and wish to now print it. However, this process isn’t exactly straightforward, and you might be wondering how you can begin printing. We have everything you need to know, so continue reading.
If you enjoy printing 3D miniatures, then you’ll already know that there are a few things you need to consider when looking for the best printer: cost and quality. There’s more to printing off a miniature than just popping the material in and waiting for your perfect little figure to come out. But even if […]

3D printing technology uses different materials, each designed with a unique purpose for every project and configuration. Out of all the materials in one’s arsenal, nylon takes the lead as one of the go-to filaments for professional users and applications. Its popularity is not without merit, though, as nylon built its reputation outside of 3D…

Discover the functions of a 3D printer and its features.
Over the years, 3D printing has grown more popular and it is now widely accessible. These days, many public libraries and institutions provide free 3D printing services. Materials for this type of printing are now also widely available, either online or in specialised brick-and-mortar stores. Many 3D printers utilise Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), which aids…

Modern 3D printing technology has come a long way from being a clunky and unreliable medium for business owners. On the other hand, some hobbyists can use the efficiency of small-scale 3D printers for personal projects. This makes 3D printing technology more accessible to users for different purposes. The Different Technologies of 3D Printing Since…

As the graphic above shows, 3D printing a face shield is twice as fast as 3D printing a face mask. How do I know? In my latest journal article called A quantitative analysis of 3D printed face shields and masks during COVID-19, I documented 37 face shields and 31 face masks suitable for fused filament fabrication (FFF, or FDM). The […]
Recently I was asked to put together a Meshmixer tutorial for students studying additive manufacturing at Deakin University. The result: a 20min demo project to show you how to turn a pretty standard brake lever into something really cool for 3D printing. If you scroll through the tutorial section of this blog you will find many other demos of how […]
Brackets are pretty boring, I know, but being able to 3D print exactly what you need, for just a few cents, just makes good sense (see what I did there?). I wanted to mount a LED strip underneath my kitchen bench top, but also wanted it to run off batteries so I didn’t have chunky cords to plug in for […]
