FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

Once you have bought the latest module, you are unlikely to use the old ones. You might throw them all in the trash, keep them in your junk box, or store them in your attic. They are likely to sit ...

Purdue patent-pending method makes 3D printed structures functional by embedding sensor particles in printing filament and evenly dispersing them Purdue University researchers have developed a novel ...

If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.

PhD students spend their time pursuing whatever general paths their supervisor has given them, and if they are lucky, it yields enough solid data to finally write a thesis without tearing their hair ...

(Nanowerk News) Pressure sensors are important tools for accurate sensing of applied forces. However, they can mostly sense forces along only a single direction. In a new study, scientists from South ...

In this article, methods to improve 3D printing quality through the use of pressure sensors are discussed and the impact this could have on the industry is elaborated on.
