The ABS and PLA that goes into your 3D printer is sold in two forms. The first, naturally, is filament. The second is plastic granules, the raw material for your filament, and costs an order of ...

Apart from cost and quality, time to market has also become an increasingly crucial factor for the success of a product. A significant contributor to product development cycles is the time required to ...

Project Sponsor: Professor Zoya Popovic, inspired by the work of visiting Professor Jose Ramon Montejo Garai, who also served as an advisor to the team The Incredible Fused Filament Fabricator (IFFF) ...

That could be about to change, though, thanks to a new printing filament. Compact, inexpensive 3D printers typically utilize a process known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). This involves heating ...

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

Fused Filament Fabrication of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for Total Knee Arthroplasty: Development of a 3D Printed Antibiotic-Loaded Porous Bone Ingrowth Surface Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the ...

Significant loss of bone, resulting in pelvic discontinuity, often requires surgical reconstruction to integrate patient-specific triflange cup implants for severe cases. Current cups are typically ...

Ford uses AIM3D pellet 3D printing to cut costs, speed up development, and enable lightweight, high-strength components.

3D printing has garnered much attention in the past three decades with its wide range of applications. The ongoing development in this area needs more modern feedstock materials with enhanced ...
