What is laser scanning? An essential part of modern 3D printing, laser scanning involves the use of lasers to survey and produce a detailed digital model of an object. This does not involve any degree of contact or damage to the scanned object, thus removing any...
How strong 3D printed parts are depends on several key aspects, including: The material you use for printing, and How you design and print your 3D parts. Why 3D Printing Materials Matter Your 3D print will only ever be as good as the material you use. This means...
Manufacturing is constantly changing and evolving due to advances in technology, including 3D printing. The question then is, how radical will future changes be, and will 3D printing replace manufacturing as we know it? One view that 3D printing will displace...
You buy your first 3D Printer, set it up and get it extruding. You trawl online repositories like Cults3D and Thingiverse and browse through all the things you could print. After a few months and many prints later, failed or otherwise – you’re bored. Sound familiar?...
When we carry out a 3D printing service, we have to consider the materials used. We don’t just use the same plastic every time, as different plastics are better depending on the environment that they’d be used in. Here’s a little introduction to the types...
For many, 3D printing is a relatively new concept that has only become more widely recognised and globally utilised in recent years. In actuality, 3D printing has been around since the 1980s and is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing industries. With the...
