That's exactly why I decided to help out fellow 3D printing beginners with fixes to some common issues that most people face when 3D printing for the first time.

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you c… ...

The first 3D printing process, known as stereolithography (SLA), was invented by Charles Hull in 1984 when he used ultraviolet lasers to solidify layers of photopolymer resin.

3D printing is changing the way we make things, and by extension the thing that we make. But how exactly does it work, and how is it advancing?

A research team has found that island scanning, a printing scheme commonly used to prevent stresses from degrading or destroying 3D-printed metal parts, may not be a cure after all.
