Technical deep dives Engineering knowledge
Case studies and technology explainers.
One of the most common resin 3D printing problems: supports that tear the surface instead of releasing cleanly after UV post-curing. We show how to set up SLA supports, choose the right model orientation, and know when you need stronger or lighter support.
PLA or PETG? The two most popular 3D printing materials behave very differently while printing and in use. We break down when to reach for PLA, when PETG makes more sense, and when it's time to move on to ASA, ABS, or an engineering-grade filament.
PLA, PETG, ABS, or ASA — which is the better choice for outdoor 3D printed parts? The difference between UV resistant and UV stable significantly affects how long a part actually lasts in sunlight.
The Creality K1 and K1C are excellent-value, enclosed FDM printers — but are they fit for industrial procurement? Our practical findings from several thousand hours of runtime, from hardware variance to real maintenance costs.
A discontinued adapter kept breaking in a laundry facility's chemical-dosing system — the fix was a chemical-resistant PETG part with a fully encapsulated copper insert, more durable than the original.
