Introduction 3D printing has revolutionized the way we create and manufacture products, allowing for greater customization and efficiency. One of the key factors in the success of 3D printing is the choice of materials used, particularly plastics. With so many options available, it can be difficult
What is 3D printing? 3D printing is the production of three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D-printed object is achieved using additive processes, where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is finished. Each of these la
When developing a new product, one of the most important steps in the process is prototyping. Prototypes help to validate the design and functionality of a product before it goes into full-scale production. There are many different methods of prototyping, but vacuum casting is becoming increasingly
Introduction The global rapid prototyping industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, driven by advancements in technology, increasing adoption across various sectors, and the growing demand for faster and more cost-effective product development processes. This detailed report provides an overview
What is FDM? FDM (Fused deposition modeling) 3D printing, also known as FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication), was introduced in 1989 and is the most common type of 3D printing we see today. It is an extrusion-based additive manufacturing technology, that uses thermoplastic or composite materials, such a
