The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have announced a new strategic partnership to establish an advanced additive manufacturing center in Norman, Oklahoma. This new facility will focus on the development of metal additive manufacturing technologies, with a special emphasis on applications for aerospace and national defense.
Thinking about upgrading your 3D printer bed? In this hands-on review, I test the Cryogrip Frostbite and Pro Glacia build plates, plus the Panda Edge scraper. Find out why the Frostbite plate might be the best choice for hassle-free PLA and PETG prints!
3D printing is safe, but, leaving a 3D printer unattended comes with a few important risks.
Bambu Lab appears to be testing a new tool that could make managing 3D printing projects a whole lot easier.
Recent online discussions have sparked speculation about a possible partnership between xTool and Snapmaker, two prominent names in the multifunctional fabrication arena.
Bambu Lab has rolled out a major update to its 3D printing software with the release of BambuStudio 2.0, promising a smoother, smarter, and more intuitive experience for makers—especially those using dual extrusion setups.
When I bought my first spool of 3D printing filament, I thought I was all set. I had the printer, the slicer software, and a model ready to go. I grabbed a random spool of PLA from Amazon (it was cheap and blue—what more could I want?) and hit print.
In this article, I want to share the biggest blunders I encountered in my early 3D printing days, so you can skip the frustration and jump straight to successful prints. Here are the top 10 mistakes I made—and how you can avoid them.
