Different materials interact differently with dust, air, and moister. Depending on the material, your filaments need to be conserved and stored properly in specific ways to be able to conserve their quality and physical properties. While leaving a filament out in the open overnight won’t have a detrimental effect, suboptimal long-term storing conditions can decrease …
3D printing has been growing at a very impressive in recent years and people are discovering new ways to implement it to their businesses. As years go by, 3D printing becomes less of a fringe hobby only followed by absolute enthusiasts and becomes one of the most reliable and effective manufacturing methods. With these changes …
In public discussion, 3D printing is often referred to as a single entity that seemingly doesn’t have different subcategories. But actually, 3D printing can be considered as more of an umbrella term that can be used to describe several different manufacturing technologies. The fundamental difference between other manufacturing methods and additive manufacturing is a 3D …

Thanks to the developments in manufacturing technology, we now have access to more methods of production than we ever did before. While old school technologies like injection molding and pressing are reliable to this very day, they do not offer the flexibility that the newer, computer-aided methods do. If you are looking for one of …

The carbon footprint of humans and the effects that our actions have on the earth are becoming hot-button topics with recent discoveries that are made in the field of climate science. People are becoming more mindful of their consumption habits to reduce the waste they create and while that is a good cause, a good …
The filament you use will be crucial for the performance and aesthetics of your prints. So, it is important to have a basic understanding of different filaments and their function if you don’t want to be lost while buying one. Here is a quick guide to the basic filaments and their properties. ABS ABS is …
After the printing process is over there are still a variety of things you can do to improve the visual appeal and function of your print. This period where you make changes to the print will be called the post-processing phase. With an extensive post-processing stage, you can achieve extremely smooth surfaces but you will …
3D printing is being used more and more for spare parts and end-use products. So, the workload of 3D printers that are being used in manufacturing is getting higher and they are expected to produce complex and durable parts faster than ever. To be able to manufacture parts that are fit for end-use consistently, you …

STL extension, which stands for “Stereolithography”, is a type of format obtained by dividing the surfaces of 3D designed models into many triangles in a mathematical order, and these triangles represent the 3-dimensional model with three points. The detail of the model increases in direct proportion to the number of these triangles. The STL file type is the most widely used 3D printing format. STL files store the volume information of 3D models.
