Each 3D printing technology, or even each print job may require different support structures. For this reason, I don't consider accurate defining overhangs based on the 45 degrees rule.

There are two main types of support structures for resin-based 3D printing: light and heavy. Light supports are thin and sparse, and they are suitable for models that have simple geometries, low ...

I found an unusual 3D printing support structure issue I hadn’t seen previously. I was 3D printing a 3D body scan of a friend and noticed something unusual in the print: the right arm was out of place ...

3D Printing with HIPS. If you use HIPS as a support structure, you should have a 3D printer with two extruders, which can reach a temperature between 230 and 245 degrees.In addition, you should have a ...

Since its introduction in 1985, 3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing, offering cheaper and customizable designs. From aerospace to medicine, its applications have grown rapidly.

What I intended to do with my 3D printer, I can’t remember. I vaguely remember wanting to print big things, but I was unsure what those might be. More abstractly, I was hoping the printer might ...

“When I first started my lab, I would never have imagined that we would be 3D printing ice, and using it to create tissues to help people,” said LeDuc. “But our research has evolved. It has brought ...

If you deposit slowly, then the structure becomes narrower and taller. There are also effects from the substrate temperature. For the same droplet deposition rate, a lower substrate temperature ...
