Those of you lucky enough to own a 3D printer will already know the common issues that can occur during 3D prints to cause imperfections on a final 3D printed model. A new 3D print finishing tool has ...

With 3D printers now dropping to record low prices, more and more people are getting on the additive manufacturing bandwagon. As a long time believer in consumer-level desktop 3D printing, this is a ...

Researchers have developed a process to dramatically improve the quality of 3-D printed resin products. The process combines greatly improved surface texture and higher structural rigidity with lower ...

The democratization of 3D printing has made many a dream and idea come true, but for all the fairy tale stories, some things are kept out of the media. Yes, 3D printing does seem like magic, almost ...

March 13 (UPI) --Researchers at Waseda University in Japan developed a process they say dramatically improves the quality of 3D-printed resin products. The new technique improves surface texture and ...

A finished 3D print, especially plastic deposition types, often have imperfections in them from the process of laying down each layer of material and from the printer itself. For small batches or ...

There is more to 3D printing than just owning a 3D printer. Several tools are needed to help in creating and finishing printed objects, as well as to aid in maintenance and repair. For anyone who has ...

Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce surface roughness or improve clarity. The technique is often used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques.

Following on from their previous successful Kickstarter campaigns Steelmans have launched their new MODIFI3D Pro 3D print hot tool which can be used for finishing your 3D prints using a variety of ...
