One of the continuing struggles with FDM printing is making sure that parts that should fit together actually do. While adding significant tolerance between parts is an option, often you want to have ...

[Slant 3D] knows a lot about optimizing 3D prints so that they can be cranked out reliably with minimal need for post-processing, and in this short video he uses a cube as a simple example of how a ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

Product developers and engineers make quick work of product designs when they access a manufacturability analysis tool from Protolabs. Protolab’s design for additive manufacturability (DfAM) analysis ...

Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...

Car design may still be led by the heart, not the head, but VW is experimenting with artificial intelligence that could dramatically change how components are made, even growing them using ...

One of the best things about owning a 3D printer is that it can upgrade itself. Once you get past the first few successful Benchies, you start noticing all the little annoyances that slow you down or ...
