3d printing

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

REVIEW – For the past few years I have been getting very involved with 3D printers and designing models and parts for myself. I do not have enough space for a 3D printing farm, and so I am constantly moving around printers and making space depending on what I need to print and which printer

REVIEW – 3D printers are no longer just for people who know how to use CAD programs to create 3D models and they are no longer for people who have 1000’s of dollars to spend. 3D printers are now available for everyone even a newbie who only has $100 to spend. What kind of 3D

REVIEW – My first experience with 3D printing was the Kywoo3D Tycoon 3D printer. I have enjoyed using it to make many items for my home and office. Kywoo3D recently asked if I wanted to review their new Tycoon Slim Direct Drive 3D printer, and I could not say no! What is it? The Kywoo3d

REVIEW – Technology has come a long way in just the past five years. When they first came out, 3D printers were well beyond the price range of most labs not to mention an ordinary citizen. Now anyone with a few hundred dollars to spare can purchase one. The question is always which one to

REVIEW – I’ve never dabbled in 3d printing before, one big reason being that it seemed to be a complex hobby with a steep learning curve. I’ve eyeballed some cheaper 3d printers in the past but never pulled the trigger after reading reviews where they were either limited in functionality, or not as beginner-friendly as
