From the Workshop

Rheinmetall UK's switch to FFF for ducting in the Challenger 3 program is a concrete example of why 3D printing delivers speed and flexibility for low-volume technical parts. The news highlights [...]

The University of Birmingham's new method for continuous carbon fiber reinforced composites shows why material selection and reinforcement logic are becoming more critical in 3D printing. The [...]

In FDM printing, the right clearance for interlocking parts depends on the material and use case. This guide summarizes practical tolerance ranges and design tips.

Bambu Lab's new PLA Pure launch puts the spotlight on cleaner indoor FDM printing and lower emissions for PLA filament. Here's why the news matters for 3D printing users.

Even without an STL file, the 3D printing process can begin. This guide explains how modeling works from measurements, photos or a sample part, and which details speed the job up.

Announced by Bambu Lab on June 1, 2026, the A2L brings large-format FDM printing to a more accessible segment, reinforcing the trend toward bigger single-piece prototypes and functional parts.

Stratasys' newly announced flame-retardant FDM material stands out for safety and functional part production in rail systems. The news shows why FDM is gaining ground in industrial spare parts [...]

When choosing between ASA and PETG, ASA usually wins for outdoor use, but PETG is a strong alternative thanks to its easy printing and cost balance. This guide clarifies which material is right [...]

Announced by Bambu Lab on June 16, 2026, PLA Pure brings a low-emission PLA filament approach that reignites the material-selection debate for home FDM printing.

By moving its ducting parts to FFF/FDM-based production with the miniFactory Ignite, Rheinmetall UK highlights the speed and flexibility advantage of spare part 3D printing for low-volume work. [...]
