The ABS and PLA that goes into your 3D printer is sold in two forms. The first, naturally, is filament. The second is plastic granules, the raw material for your filament, and costs an order of ...

Apart from cost and quality, time to market has also become an increasingly crucial factor for the success of a product. A significant contributor to product development cycles is the time required to ...

Learn why metal fused filament fabrication is quickly becoming a go-to 3D printing process for many industries. This white paper takes a deep dive on the metal FFF process, examines Markforged’s ...

That could be about to change, though, thanks to a new printing filament. Compact, inexpensive 3D printers typically utilize a process known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). This involves heating ...

Project Sponsor: Professor Zoya Popovic, inspired by the work of visiting Professor Jose Ramon Montejo Garai, who also served as an advisor to the team The Incredible Fused Filament Fabricator (IFFF) ...

Lower back pain impacts a majority of the world population at least once in their lifetime. The source of this pain is often due to degenerative changes in the lower spine, sometimes requiring ...

The surgical implantation of lumbar interbody fusion devices (L-IBFDs), often referred to as spinal cages, is the final intervention to facilitate spinal fusion when treating intractable lower back ...

Most desktop 3D printers use what's called FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. Another term is FFF (or fused filament fabrication). The idea behind both of these is that a 3D print is built up ...

3D printing has garnered much attention in the past three decades with its wide range of applications. The ongoing development in this area needs more modern feedstock materials with enhanced ...
