Before you pick a place that’s going to make your 3D object, you need a 3D model to actually print. There are a few things you need to consider when you’re looking for something to make.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF): FFF, also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is the most common method of consumer 3D printing. FFF machines build in successive layers of plastic filament.

When creating 3D models, the programs tend to overdo the geometry as they assume you are making models for computer-based applications. By reducing the faces of your models, you can get a much ...

If you don't own a 3D printer, you can still 3D print any 3D model you found through a database or designed through a software tool. Just use a 3D printing service such as Shapeways, i.Materialise ...

Are you curious how a single image can transform into a 3D model in seconds? Microsoft’s Copilot 3D tool can make it possible ...

3D printing is used to create jewelry, furniture, tools, prosthetics, hearing aids, foods and even toys. Here's how you can make your own 3D-printed toys.

The most common 3D printer design, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is similar to an inkjet printer. The FDM printhead moves side to side, depositing material on a moving platform.

Some readers may consider that a revolting oversimplification, but it is a helpful one to make a point about how 3D scanning, 3D printing, and CAD work do (and don’t) work together.

I have been searching for some new models so this post gave me an opportunity to search the web for practical, and maybe just a bit whimsical, 3D Printer Files. Shout out to Cults3D.com as one of ...

There are many 3D printing services–all with varying services, quality, turnaround times and pricing so we found the best 3D printing services.

The resolution of 3D models is important to 3D printing. You can think about it like you’re building out of LEGO blocks: if you only use a few larger blocks, you’ll have a very blocky, rough ...
