Earlier this year we started running 3D printed design competitions internally as a way of getting people to learn more about using CAD and designing for 3D printing. We normally have two categories – one for first timers (those who’ve never done it before) and then the seasoned “pro’s”. This time we’ve decided to release …
ColorFabb are one of the biggest third-party 3D printing material manufacturers in the world, and they are without doubt the most innovative. They have brought to market a huge variety of 3D printing filaments for people to enjoy, including a range of filaments that mimic metals and organic materials which really test the boundaries of …
When it comes to determining the suitability of a 3D printing material for a project, you need to know how hard, how strong and how flexible that material is. These things are referred to as the ‘mechanical properties’ of a material. The phrase “good mechanical properties” is widely used in the 3D printing industry. However, …
Markforged launched their latest range of 3D printers – the Onyx Series – on 18th November, 2016. The range includes two products: The Onyx One, and the Onyx Pro 3D printers. The Onyx One can print a single filament, called ‘Onyx’, while the Onyx Pro can print two filaments: Onyx and Fibreglass CFF. These printers …
MarkForged has today announced two new 3D printers – the Onyx One and Onyx Pro. The new Onyx line can 3D print engineering quality parts, that are tougher and more durable than parts printed with standard thermoplastics.
