A very tough, resilient, and lightweight 3D printing composite filament called FilaOne Gray can hold more than 1,000 times its own weight. The secret? Carbon nanotube reinforcement. Don't believe it?

In other words, a rotating nozzle could turn fiber alignment from an incidental result of extrusion into an actual process variable. If that can be controlled repeatably, slicing software might ...

3D printing has garnered much attention in the past three decades with its wide range of applications. The ongoing development in this area needs more modern feedstock materials with enhanced ...

Rourkela: Researchers at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) have secured a patent for a low-cost, portable extruder system capable of producing composite filaments for 3D ...

Pressurized well tank manufacturer Amtrol recently installed an automated filament winding line with in-process monitoring to produce its debut product line of composite-lined tanks. Pictured here, a ...

[Stefan] from CNC Kitchen explored an unusual approach to a multi-material print by making custom PLA filament with a TPU core to make it super-tough. TPU is a flexible filament whereas PLA is hard ...
