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

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 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 ...

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 ...

If you have a pile of old VHS tapes collecting dust in your attic or basement that you know you’ll never watch again, either because all of those movies are available on DVD or a streaming service, or ...
