Let’s be honest, multi-extruder 3D printers don’t work the greatest — even MakerBot decided to get rid of the feature in their latest line of printers. So what are you going to do when you want to ...
Italian 3D printer manufacturer WASP is developing a dual extrusion technology that combines earth-based materials and ...
Protopasta co-founder Alex Dick on making 3D printing filament in-house, community-made colors + why materials can still be a ...
What is extrusion in 3D printing? According to the ASTM International standards organization, extrusion is the official name given to a specific 3D printing process where material is selectively ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a novel extrusion system that combines multiple 3D-printing extruders into a single, high-output stream via ...
The next frontier of desktop 3D printing is multi-material and multi-color prints. Right now, you can buy a dual toolhead for a Lulzbot, and dual toolheads from other companies exist, although they ...
One of the earliest and most common methods of making parts one layer at a time is extrusion, also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM, trademarked by Stratasys) and Fused Filament Fabrication ...
Go beyond plastics with the Discov3ry Extruder, a paste extruder on Kickstarter that turns a regular 3D printer into a Nutella printer. Technology may soon turn us all into badass cake-decorating pros ...
Entrepreneurs in Denmark have taken another step towards improving the general usability of 3D printers with the Diamond Hotend, a single 3D extruder unit that can mix and melt three filaments ...
