After you pick a 3D printer, the first decision you'll have to make is what type of filament you want to use. Look deep enough, and you'll see several dozen varieties—even setting aside the numerous ...

The reason PLA is so widely used in 3D printing is because of how easy it is to print. PLA has a wide temperature range — between 190c and 230c 3D printing is almost entirely metric, sorry Imperial ...

3D printing prototype enclosures with PLA or PETg is quick and easy, but to which filament to you turn if the enclosure has to be installed somewhere, and therefore need to be flame retardant. Such ...

Fast-forward a decade, and the world of 3D printing has evolved tremendously. Printers are faster, smarter, and more refined.

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

The world of 3D printing is constantly evolving, and with the increasing focus on sustainability, innovative solutions like the Artme3D MK2 3D print recycler and filament maker are taking center stage ...

Prusa Research is making 3D printing more accessible to the masses, even as more people rely on mobile devices as their ...

Bambu Labs has introduced PPA-CF, a new 3D printing filament that offers significant improvements in strength and durability for engineering applications. This innovative material provides a robust ...

It seems a simple enough concept: as a 3D printer consumes filament, the spool becomes lighter. If you weighed an empty spool, and subtracted that from the weight of the in-use spool, you’d know how ...

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...
