PLA vs ABS: Which Material Should You Choose?
When it comes to 3D printing polymers, it can be hard to decide which one to use. This is the case for pretty much any 3D printing technology, but especially for beginners or hobbyists using FDM/FFF 3D printing for whom it can seem impossible to know which filament is most appropriate. Previously, we have broken down the differences between two 3D printing filaments, PLA and...

All You Need to Know About ABS for 3D Printing
ABS or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a thermoplastic polymer that is quite common for industrial applications. It is known especially for its high impact resistance at low temperatures and for creating lightweight parts. Adding to that, ABS plastic is also very popular in the 3D printing market – as it is one of the most widely used materials in this sector along with...

A Closer Look at 3D Printing Materials: Composites
In recent years, composite 3D printing has become increasingly popular. One of the youngest branches of 3D printing, this technology is now used by many players in additive manufacturing, such as Impossible Objects, a company specializing in the field. In fact, it has become so popular that some studies estimate that the composite 3D printing market will reach $1.73 billion by 2030....

10 Reasons Why 3D Printing Is Considered Sustainable
Additive manufacturing is often seen as a greener alternative to traditional manufacturing methods and mass production, which generates high emissions. One reason for this is that 3D printing only adds materials where they are actually needed, thus reducing waste. Although the sustainability benefits of 3D printing depend on the process, 3D filament and components used, it offers many...

What Are the Strongest 3D Printing Filaments?
When it comes to strong parts, one of the most important choices that can be made is the material. Although the process of course plays an important role, the material used is what determines many of the characteristics of the final component. But how do you know which one to choose? Which 3D printing materials are the strongest? First, it is necessary to define what strength is. Although...

The Top Full Color 3D Printers on the Market
When it comes to choice of a 3D printer, several criteria must be taken into account: which applications it will be used for, the desired printing speed, the final quality of the parts, the quantity to be produced, among others. For some, a particularly essential aspect is the possibility to design parts in color. It is true that color integration is rarely the number one choice, but for...

3D Printer Bed: How to Choose Your Build Plate/Surface
The print bed, also known as the build plate, is one of the most important components of any fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer. Your printer can’t just lay out melted filament on any surface, and a poor-quality build plate (or no build plate at all) will likely lead to print failure. The primary function of a print bed is to provide a flat and smooth surface for the...

Yes, You Can Over Dry Filament. Here’s How Not To
Drying filament is important but drying filament properly is even more important. Learn the science behind what moisture and drying does to polymer filament. 3D printing hobbyists and pros have gotten the message about wet filament and the stringing and print failures it causes. So much so, that a new issue is popping up: over-dried filament. Too much drying — whether it’s at the...

3D Print Warping: PLA, PETG, ABS – 4 Easy Fixes
Unfortunately, warping can happen to the best of us during the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing process. Whenever some part of your 3D print starts to curl upwards, you’ve got a case of warping on your hands. The problem occurs when the extruded filament cools too quickly and shrinks. This, in turns, pulls on the previous layer, creating tension. The previous layer then pulls...
