From the Workshop

The US Marines producing a missing part on-site for a coastal boat shows why 3D-printed spare parts are gaining ground in maintenance and logistics.

The Sovol M1D aims to reduce waste in multi-color and multi-material FDM printing by combining an open-source IDEX architecture with automatic toolhead changes.

Announced by Polymaker on July 24, 2026, HT-PLA Pro aims to preserve the ease of printing of standard PLA while improving heat and impact performance, making it noteworthy for FDM prototypes and [...]

We compare carbon fiber reinforced filament and PLA in terms of rigidity, heat, ease of printing, cost logic, and choosing the right part.

When choosing between ABS+ and HIPS, heat, impact resistance, printability, and the intended use of the part are the key factors that determine the right material.

In this TPC vs HIPS comparison, we evaluated flexibility, prototyping, outdoor use, impact resistance, and printability differences on a part-by-part basis.

We compare the differences between Copper PLA and HIPS in terms of decorative appearance, lightweight prototyping, heat, impact, printability, and cost logic.

We compared the differences between ABS+ and Nylon (PA) in terms of impact, wear, flexibility, ease of printing, and suitability for different part types.

When choosing between ASA and HIPS, outdoor durability, printability, heat resistance, and part type are the factors that make the real difference.

We compare the differences between PLA and ABS+ in terms of printability, heat resistance, impact resistance, and which material makes more sense for which type of part.
