In last week’s blog post we discussed Blueprinter’s Selective Heat Sintering (SHS) technology and how it offers something different to Fused Filament Fabrication and Stereolithography 3D printers. This week, we’ll be discussing another unique 3D printing technology called Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL). Selective Deposition Lamination offers something completely different to traditional 3D printers – you don’t …
There are several different 3D printing processes found within 3D printers. The most well-known process is Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), with Stereolithography (SLA) not far behind. Selective Heat Sintering (SHS) is a less well-known 3D printing process than Fused Filament Fabrication or Stereolithography, in large part because it has been adopted by a single 3D printer …
What is Selective Heat Sintering (SHS), and how does it work? Read More »
In case you haven’t noticed, getting a firm footing in the desktop 3D printing market isn’t easy. To accentuate our point, 3D model marketplace Pinshape is closing down today, in what is a huge blow to the community it grew over its three-year lifespan. Pinshape, for those of you who are new to this now …
Update: This was an April Fool We have been keeping this a secret for months, and we are happy to announce that we are finally ready to launch the new GoPrint3D f001 3D Printer, which uses our patent-pending AFF technology (similar to FFF).
