When you want to build a large format 3D printer, you can’t just scale up the design of a desktop machine. In an excellent four-part build series (videos after the break), [Dr. D-Flo] takes us through ...
FDM stands for fused deposition modeling, but what does that mean, and how does it differ from other 3D printing methods? Let ...
The early days of FDM 3D printing were wild and wooly. Getting plastic to stick to your build plate was a challenge. Blue tape and hairspray-coated glass were kings for a long time. Over time, better ...
It’s a design engineer’s mission to challenge the status quo and venture into new territory — territory that more and more includes robotic arms that can print in any orientation, opening up a utopia ...
This 3D printer is big enough to build houses. Created by Italian engineering company WASP, the project has aspirations to solve the global housing crisis by building houses using sustainable ...
