Printing joints can be intimidating for inexperienced 3D printer users. Even for veteran additive manufacturing enthusiasts, there are some articulated designs that can be hard to print perfectly. But with a couple of tweaks and good old-fashioned trial and error, it is possible to print any joints in your designs comfortably. Here are some tips …
So, Formnext 2022 is now behind us and it was everything we had hoped for. We attended the event in numbers and our team was amazed at the scope of it as always. Seeing new products, materials and technologies is a great way for us to keep up with the industry and motivated our team …
In only a couple of weeks, we attended numerous additive manufacturing events, got a valuable new team member, and announced a brand new flagship 3D printer model. So, it is safe to say things are ramping up at a higher pace than usual. Here’s what Zaxe has been up to in October and November. Expo …
Additive manufacturing offers its users one of the most convenient and flexible ways of turning 3D models into real-life objects. Turning digital models into real-life objects is an exciting idea for all makers and professionals alike, but what about the reverse? Can you turn a real-life object into a digital 3D model? And if so, …
One of the most important events in additive manufacturing is only a couple of days away. Formnext is the gold standard in 3D printing exhibitions and hosts thousands of professionals, enthusiasts, and industry figureheads yearly. For the next couple of days, Frankfurt will be the epicenter of additive manufacturing as the leading industry platform for …
3D printing or additive manufacturing is an umbrella term used for manufacturing methods that involve turning a digital file into a 3D object from scratch. The method gets divided into sub-categories depending on the technology used to manufacture the said 3D object. FDM or FFF, which is the most popular 3D printing technology, is often …
The nozzle is such an integral part of 3D printing that the choice you will make while buying them will directly affect so many aspects of your prints. From detail to printing speeds, your nozzle is a big part of your 3D printer’s performance. So you can’t leave your nozzle choices to luck. But with …
PLA is one of the, if not the, most popular filaments used in FDM 3D printing. The popularity of the material is no coincidence. It is exceptionally easy to print with, very budget-friendly, and sustainable as it is mostly derived from corn starch. PLA also has a pretty smooth finish, making it more appealing to …
Silky smooth surfaces are the dream of and a point of pride for many 3D printing enthusiasts. Not only do they make your prints look much better and cut down on the time you will spend on post-processing, but they are also a good indicator that your 3D printer is performing at its best. But, …
Considering the current state of the environment, we can all agree that our planet can benefit from us using less plastic. 3D printing isn’t necessarily damaging to the environment as additive manufacturing offers a wide variety of filaments to choose from, some of which are pretty environmentally friendly. But producing less waste and being mindful …
