From the Workshop

We compare Wood PLA and HIPS in terms of decorative appearance, lightweight prototyping, outdoor use, heat, impact resistance, printability, and part-based material selection.

The difference between 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filament is not only the diameter; filament tolerance often has a bigger impact on flow stability and part quality.

Walter Reed’s FDA-cleared patient-specific cranial implant shows why in-hospital production in medical 3D printing has reached a new threshold.

Highlighted in eSUN’s July 30, 2026 announcement, the distinction between PLA, PLA+ and Basic PLA makes material selection clearer for desktop FDM users.

ASTM’s new design guide for 3D printed ceramic parts shows why design discipline becomes more important as material options expand.

The new 3D printing facility opened by Hyundai and Kia at the Namyang R&D center shows why additive manufacturing is becoming a permanent part of automotive workflows, from prototypes to [...]

Makr3D’s new instant quote system, which does not require an account, stands out in 3D printing pricing because it relies on real slicing data and 3MF fidelity.

We compared PETG and TPC in terms of purpose, flexibility, impact, heat, outdoor use, and ease of printing.

The ASTRA Scout lunar rover, developed with support from Xenia Materials’ 3DF filaments, is once again highlighting why weight reduction and correct material selection are critical in FDM parts.

Wall count is often a more critical strength parameter than infill density in FDM printing, and here we explain with practical examples when a part needs 2, 3, 4, or more walls.
