3D printing post processing gets far less attention than the printer itself, yet it’s often the difference between a part that looks and performs the way it should, and one that doesn’t. Plenty of people invest in a capable printer, dial in their settings, and still end up disappointed with

Composite 3D printing has reached a point where it can genuinely replace metal parts in some engineering and manufacturing applications, not just prototype them. Markforged has built its entire product range around this idea, embedding continuous carbon fibre into printed plastic parts to produce components that rival aluminium in strength-to-weight

3D printing in dentistry has moved from a niche lab process to something many UK practices now run on-site. Practices that once sent every model and guide out to an external lab are bringing that work in-house, cutting turnaround from weeks to hours. This matters because dental work runs on

Formlabs names each resin in its Tough family after its tensile modulus in megapascals. Tough 1000 sits at the ductile, impact-resistant end. Tough 2000 is the strongest and stiffest. Tough 1500 sits in the middle, with a character closer to polypropylene than either of its siblings. The naming makes the

Silicone 3D printing has moved from specialist research labs into genuine industrial use, and the applications are widening quickly. Custom respiratory masks, aerospace seals, soft robotic components, and patient-specific prosthetics are all being produced today using additive manufacturing (AM) processes that were simply not viable a decade ago. This guide

The Bambu H2C Vortek is Bambu Lab’s flagship multi-material desktop printer, built around a completely new approach to filament switching. Instead of pushing and pulling filament through a single nozzle (and generating a pile of purge waste in the process), the Bambu Lab H2C physically swaps hotends. Up to six

If you’ve been looking at Markforged printers, you’ve almost certainly come across Onyx filament. It’s the base material for most of what Markforged produces, and for good reason. Onyx is a chopped carbon fibre-reinforced nylon that prints with a better surface finish than most FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) materials and
