Printed plastics? So 2011. And high-end printers have been working with metals and ceramics for some time. But now the 3-D printing community is toying with a material more natural in origin: printed ...

The materials you can use to produce 3D prints have exploded over the past few years. One of those materials is wood (or "wood"). Having been provided a spool of filament, I decided to put it through ...

The bambooFill 3D printing filament is a revolutionary material that combines the natural aesthetics of bamboo wood with the versatility of PHA/PLA. When used to 3D print objects, the resulting pieces ...

GEHR (Mannheim, Germany) a producer of thermoplastic semi-finished products globally, introduces Eco-Fil-A-Gehr, a novel wood-based filament designed for professional 3D printing with high dimensional ...

3D printing is a kind of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) that enables the production of physical products via computer-aided designs (CAD). Compared to traditional manufacturing methods such as ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

The types of filament available for filament fusion 3D printers are growing all the time. We've told you about several, including wood filament; MadeSolid's recyclable, ABS-like PET+ filament; and its ...

We’ve used wood filament before, and we hazily remember a Cura plugin that changed temperatures to create wood grain. But unlike [Patrick Gibney], we never thought of printing a faux wood log coaster ...

Our first 3D printers only printed ABS and PLA plastic. Yeah, we heard about PVA for support structures, but no one could get them to stick. There was also polycarbonate, but you had to have an all ...

If you would like to learn more about all the different 3D printing filaments available, you may be interested in a new video created by maker Zack Freedman which takes you through a wide variety of ...
