JB Babcock is director of engineering at Taylor Technologies. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3-D printers are becoming pretty common and affordable these days, from the small, inexpensive $1,400 ...

Did our great 3D print-off inspire you to start 3D printing things for your own car? We've put together a beginner's guide. 3D printing is a big deal. It enables the average person to quickly whip up ...

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 can ...

For prototyping plastic parts, fused-deposition modeling (FDM) builds stronger components than any other major additive technology. But the rough, stepped surfaces the technique generates have ...

This class introduces users to fused deposition modeling (FDM) setup strategies and best practices. This class provides an overview of key setup processes and considerations for FDM including ...

It’s a question new makers often ask: “Should I start with a CNC machine or a 3D Printer?”– or, once you have both, every project gets the question “Should I use my CNC or 3D printer?” — and the ...
