From the Workshop

NIT Rourkela’s patented low-cost recycled filament extrusion system stands out for what it could mean for local material production and sustainable supply in FDM.

Stratasys’ in-situ quality assurance approach for the F3300 and F900 shows why real-time process data in FDM printing is becoming critical at production scale.

Conical hole design is one of the most practical ways to reduce support requirements in FDM printing and achieve cleaner internal voids with the right angle and orientation.

Boom Supersonic’s achievement of an approximate cost reduction in drill guide production with FDM shows why 3D printing is becoming increasingly important for manufacturing tools and fixtures.

The 3D-printed TPU funnel example at McConnell shows why FDM production is gaining speed for custom maintenance tools and low-volume support parts.

The answer to fillet vs chamfer depends on the part’s load, print orientation, and assembly needs, and this guide summarizes the right choice for FDM parts with practical examples.

MIT’s ShiftLens approach puts mechanical indicators that change appearance based on pressing, sliding, and turning on the agenda, potentially offering a new way to test user interaction in [...]

eSUN’s PLA-Coffee announcement presents a new FDM material example that combines recycled coffee grounds with biobased PLA, raising the question of what this filament really promises and which [...]

Buckley Conversions’ 3D-printed camper interior prototype is drawing attention with its claim of a structure that is about 680 kg lighter and easier to customize.

Lyten’s PA1205 graphene-reinforced nylon filament is emerging as the standard material on Modovolo’s portable 3D printing platform.
