Since its launch on the market, the Sinterit Lisa printer has been a revolution. It is the first affordable SLS printer in desktop format. Its high quality, ease of use, low price and compact size have made it a niche in sectors where until recently it was considered unfeasible to introduce t

One of the most important elements of a 3D FDM printer is the set consisting of the extruder and the hotend.The hotend is the element intended to melt the filament so that it can flow through the nozzle, while preventing heat from being transmitted outside of the so-called hot zone.For this,

Until a few years ago, the only alternatives to start in the world of 3D printing were to acquire a commercial domestic printer, the cost of which was in many cases inaccessible, or to acquire the parts and components necessary to assemble a 3D printer from the RepRap project, either in kit f

The hotend is one of the fundamental parts of an FDM 3D printer,and despite its apparent simplicity one of the most complex. This component depends not only on the resolution of the printer,but also the ability to print certain materials,such as abrasive or high temperature. There are multipl

Jewelry making has always been a traditional process, supported by different technological advances. To date, no technological advance has had as much impact on the jewelry industry as 3D printing or additive manufacturing.With the arrival of contemporary jewelry, experimentation and innovati

In the use of 3D printers (FFF/FDM), problems and unforeseen events (especially in non-professional 3D printers) can appear when printing the models that the user needs. This causes inconvenience, delays and other inconveniences that the user of the 3D printer never wants to happen to him. Th

When talking about the functional parts of an FDM 3D printer, the layer fan is one of the most important components that can be found. A 3D printer usually has two fans in the HotEnd area, one in charge of cooling the HotEnd diffuser and another that cools the material that comes out of the n

Image 1: 3D printed lithophane. Source: FormlabsA lithophane is a three-dimensional image with different thicknesses that cause the opacity of each of its parts to vary by projecting light on it, achieving a very showy and original result.It is believed that its origin dates back to the ninet

The fact that a 3D printer has high resolution among its specifications does not mean that all 3D printed parts will be accurate and precise. Understanding the meaning of accuracy, precision and tolerance is essential to achieve a good result in any 3D printing. Below we detail what each of t

Designing has never been so easy, thanks to the introduction of 3D printing technology. If you can imagine, you can create just as you imagined. This technology has allowed us to make important advances and reduce costs in an infinite number of sectors such as construction, automotive and med

3D resin printing has evolved in the same way as 3D FDM printing, until it is available to all types of users. This new movement through the use of 3D resin printers has led to the development of a wide range of resins, with very varied properties and applications.In this article we will try

Sometimes, choosing the most suitable material for a given application is a complex decision that depends on a multitude of variables and requirements. To facilitate this selection, we have developed a new advanced search engine on our website, which allows filtering based on almost 40 proper

All users of 3D printers know that 3D printed parts have two distinct zones, the shell and the fill (infill). The correct parameterization of these two values influences the mechanical resistance, the finish, the printing time and the cost. The shell are the outer walls of the piece in which

When a user of a 3D FDM printer reaches average knowledge, he seeks to increase the complexity of his printed pieces, both in terms of functionality and finishing. Next, a series of tips for increasing the performance of a 3D printer are discussed thanks to the programmed stoppages and metal

In the world of 3D printing, there is an increasing need to increase the manufacturing possibilities of all types of parts and finishes, to help the evolution of the industry. In this case you will find the chrome plating of parts made with a 3D FDM printer.The appearance of new materials, su
