Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing specialist Formlabs has today launched an all-new SLS 3D printer called the Fuse 1 at an event called The Digital Factory. The Fuse 1 represents a shift in direction for Formlabs, whose 3D printers up until now have exclusively utilised stereolithography technology. Here’s what you need

We are pleased to announce a new partnership with industrial-grade 3D printer manufacturer EnvisionTEC. Founded in 2002, EnvisionTEC are a leading manufacturer of advanced 3D printers for serious manufacturing requirements. Their range includes Desktop 3D printers with Digital Light Projection (DLP) technology, Perfactory ‘personal factory’ 3D printers with DLP technology

We are delighted to announce the availability of the new 3DP Workbench series within our online store. The 3DP Workbench series consists of four FFF 3D printers for designers, engineers and manufacturers who require a large-format but flexible 3D printing solution for their workshops. Here’s a little information about each

Manual post-processing extends the manufacturing time of 3D printed models considerably. In the case of stereolithography-printed models, they ideally need to be thoroughly washed with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) before they are cured using UV light. Both these processes take time and, in the case of UV curing, you ideally need to

The Formlabs Form 2 is hands-down the best desktop stereolithography 3D printer on the market. With a 145 × 145 × 175 mm (5.7 × 5.7 × 6.9 in) build volume, it offers space for all your biggest ideas, and with its ingenious automated resin tank, you can literally leave

The heart is a simple organ. It is a muscle that functions as a pump. However, it isn’t easy or cheap to replicate using synthetic materials. For example, to manufacture an artificial heart, the cost can be anywhere from £100,000 to £300,000 (and sometimes more). The biggest cost is manufacturing

When Markforged launched the Mark X, they set out to improve print consistency by reducing the risk of first-layer failure with a pre-print bed scan. This feature checks the level of the print bed, before any filament gets extruded, to ensure that the first layer has a flat bed to be

In August last year, Holland-based 3D printer OEM Leapfrog launched a new 3D printer called the Bolt. The Leapfrog Bolt boasts a 7” touchscreen, a built-in webcam, a roomy 320 x 330 x 205mm build volume and it can 3D print at a layer resolution of 50 to 350 microns (0.05 to 0.35
