3d printing

REVIEW – I have dabbled in 3D printing but I have only used a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) style printer where a thin filament is heated and extruded onto a platform to build up your desired object. Stereolithography (SLA) is the other side of the 3D printer coin where a UV laser or light is aimed […]

REVIEW – When Creality offered to send me their Ender-3 S1 3D printer to review, I had quite a dilemma. I wasn’t impressed by their software from the CR-Lizard 3D Scanner, but their printers seemed quite popular. Of course, I opted for doing the review but read on to see if it was a good

REVIEW – Ever since Captain Kirk pulled a plate of food from the replicator on Star Trek in the 60s, I think we’ve all harbored dreams of having everyday objects provided for us in a just-in-time manner. For some, that means 3D printing. There are several folks here who have reviewed 3D printers over the

REVIEW – I recently reviewed a 3D scanner that I wasn’t very impressed by, so when Revopoint offered to send me their Pop 2 3D High-Precision Scanner, I thought I would give it a try. Would I regret it? Keep reading to find out! What is it? The Revopoint Pop 2 is a High-Precision 3D

REVIEW – I recently reviewed the Markforged Mark Two continuous fiber composite 3D printer. It’s still my favorite 3D  printer, but it just got even better. What is it? Precise PLA is Markforged’s specialized version of the popular PLA (Polylactic Acid) 3D printer filament that many are familiar with. What’s in the box? Precise PLA

REVIEW – I’ve been thinking about joining the ranks of 3D printer aficionados for some time, but reluctant to jump into the growing ranks of printers until I found one that could print large models. That’s where the Artillery Sidewinder X2 3D printer that I was sent to review from Geekbuying.com comes in. Since this

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten more into 3D printing and designing items to 3D print, I’ve found that I have a need for scanning existing objects. Creality offered to send me their new CR-Scan Lizard 3D scanner, so of course, I said yes. What is it? The Creality CR-Scan Lizard is an optical 3D Scanner

REVIEW – 3D printing is something I have always been enamored with. I think it is amazing that you can take a file, load it into a machine, and sometime later have a fully three-dimensional model. But, I have also been a little apprehensive because of the steep learning curve. When I received an offer

REVIEW – I’ve been working with 3D prints in and around creating consumer products for a very long time. They’ve been invaluable in development, realization of ergonomic and manufacturing issues and just getting something in your hands where everyone can see and hold the same thing in order to facilitate good decision making. But, confession

REVIEW – Occasionally, a review offer comes along that simply doesn’t seem real. I’m not referring to a Kickstarter project that will probably never ship, but an incredible product that’s already being produced. We were sent an offer to review the Markforged Mark Two 3D printer, and I’ve never jumped so fast at an item

REVIEW – Are you new to 3D printing? I am. As a beginner, you might ask things like, “Do you have to assemble the printer?”, “How much do I need to know about 3D printing to print my first object?”, “How much time do I need to spend learning about the printer before I can

REVIEW – Over the past few years, I have become a serious 3D printing enthusiast and I have been able to print many models including models that I designed myself. I have several FDM printers and one small resin printer. Since my experience with the small Elegoo mars model was good, I was elated to
