ABS filament (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most popular plastics. It has good mechanical properties, high strength, good toughness and durability. And it is a low cost material. So if you want to make some functional part or prototypes, ABS filament is a good choice. ABS filament is compatible with 3d printers that …
What is CNC machining CNC-Computer Numerical Control. CNC machining programs are the software packages that used to manufacture parts on cnc machines. CNC machining is a subtract manufacturing technology. A variety of cutting tools are used to remove material from a sold block. Computer can control the tools to move along the tool paths in …
Nowadays it you want to manufacture a part, especially a complex part, the first thing is to get a 3D model. And for 3d printing or CNC machining, step one is to get a 3D model too.There are some methods to get a 3D model. Among these methods, the best way is to create models with …
3D printer becomes popular nowadays. Many people have had or plan to have a 3d printer. However if you are just beginning to get into this world, you will find it is difficult to choose the proper 3d printing software. What types of 3d printing software are used Usually we need three types of 3d …
Sometimes you want to turn an object into 3D model. But maybe you don’t have a 3d scanner or the object is too large for 3d scanner. Then you can just take some photos of the objects from different directions, and use some software packages to generate 3d model from photos. Create 3D model from single …
Why you need to repair STL file before 3d printing It is an important process to repair STL files before 3d printing.There are several file formats can be used on 3d printer, such as PLY, OBJ, AMF, WRL, and other 3d mesh models. But The most common 3D printer file format is STL file. Many …

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique. Selective laser sintering uses a laser as the power source. The machine automatically aims the power source at points in space defined by the 3D model. The laser will sinter the powdered material, and bind the material together to create a solid structure. There are several technologies that we can use for low-volume …

FDM (Fused deposition modeling), or FFF(Fused Filament Fabrication), is the most widely used 3D Printing technology. Most installed 3D printers are FDM printers. It is often the first technology people are exposed to. For desktop or consumer 3d printers, FDM printer is the most popular in the world now. So if you want to get into 3d …

Stereolithography(SLA) is an additive manufacturing process. It is a 3d printing technology. An ultraviolet (UV) laser will focus on a vat of photopolymer resin. With the help of computer aided manufacturing or computer-aided design (CAM/CAD) software, the UV laser will draw a pre-programmed design or shape on to the surface of the photopolymer vat. Photopolymers are sensitive to ultraviolet light, …
Additive manufacturing (AM), usually we call it 3d printing, uses computer-aided design to build objects layer by layer. It becomes more and more popular. There are several types of 3d printing technology that 3d printer use today: FDM,SLA,DLP,SLS,MJ,DOD,BJ,DMLS,etc. 1. FDMFused Deposition Modeling-FDM It is the most popular 3d printing technology. Material: Thermoplastic filament(PLA,ABS,PET,TPU,PETG,Nylon,wood) Dimensional Accuracy: …
