3D Food Printing

Image
OMG, guys have you heard about 3D food printing? It's seriously the coolest thing ever! 🤯🍴 3D Food Printing is a new technology that is changing the way we think about how food is made and how it can be eaten. Now-a-days this 3D printing technology is creating a new way towards different food experiences. So, today in this blog we are going to discuss about this very new and interesting topic of 3D food printing. What is 3D Printed Food ?? It is a new technology that creates food in different shapes as per our needs. As we use a plastic filament in our FDM printer, here in this the filament is replaced by the edible food materials like dough, chocolate, pureed fruits and vegetables.  After that, these materials are forced into a nozzle using an extruder in order to get the desired food that is required. For 3D printing the food various technologies are used as discussed earlier in this series of  blog , but mostly Fused Deposition Modeling   (FDM) and Binder Jetting...

Strategies to Enhance the Speed of Your 3D Printer

Image
Every hobbyist wants to be able to 3D print faster and make figures and models they've wanted for a long time in a matter of hours, not days, weeks, or months. Wouldn't it be great if you could make 3D items 10 times faster? So, today in this blog we are going to see that how to increase the speed of your 3D printer so that you can print more quickly without affecting the quality of your prints. Fastest 3D Printers It's possible that one day, all of us will have the opportunity to purchase a gadget that is both inexpensive and quick, one that can convert STL files into highly detailed figurines and models from your favourite video games and movies in as little as a couple of hours or even more quickly. But some smart people can already enjoy this kind of thing. John Hart and Jamison Go , who work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, are brilliant when it comes to improving techniques. MIT news says that the two professors and their coll...

Medical 3D Printing Benefits

Image
3D printing continues to alter our understandings of design and industrial production. This is particularly true for medical applications , which offer advancements in diagnosing, treatment, training, and equipment maintenance in hospitals and other medical facilities . In this blog we are going to talk about some benefits of 3D printing technology in Medical field. 3D Printing Helps Patients and Hospitals According to studies, the use of 3D printing in the medical field is highly effective. Products such as 3D-printed medical models and surgical guides save thousands of dollars per case by reducing the amount of time spent in the operation room. Additionally, longer surgical procedures can be shortened by up to 2.5 hours.  "According to Allied Market Research, 3D printing technology satisfies the growing demand for personalised medical care by providing customised medical devices based on an individual's needs. In addition, it offers several advantages over traditional recon...

What Skills Do You Need to be an Expert in 3D Printing?

Image
Many of us find that 3D printing field is very interesting and full of potential. But we will need the right skills to do well at it. So,  you may come with a question in your mind that what kinds of skills will we need to develop? So, here in this blog, we are going to discuss about the skills that are required to be a Pro/Master in 3D printing. How do you start 3D printing? What technical skills do you need?  3D Modelling: You can use a variety of 3D software programs to simplify this. Whichever one you choose to use, it will take some time for you to get used to it. It is advised that you select free software, at least to begin with, if you are a beginner. This will let you know which features in a premium package are more crucial. Learning one particular software package could be helpful for many of the features because they are shared by many of the available features across different packages. Some softwares you can use like Autodesk 3DS MAX, Solidworks, Sketchup,etc. A...

What Actually Is G-Code in 3D Printing?

Image
G-Code is an important part of 3D printing. Without it, your 3D printer wouldn't be able to print anything. Even now, a lot of people don't know what it is or how it works. In this blog, I'll talk more about what G-Code is and how it fits into 3D printing. By the end of this blog, you should know more about G-Code and how it works in the 3D printing process. What does G-Code mean? G-Code is a programming language that is used to control modern manufacturing equipment like CNC machines, 3D printers, and Laser Cutters. It is a list of commands that tell the machine how to move and what to do, like extrude material or change the temperature of the print head or change the bed temperature . In 3D printing, the slicer software takes your 3D model (an STL or OBJ file) and turns it into a set of instructions that the printer can understand. This is called G-Code. The instructions are then sent to the printer, which follows them layer by layer to make the final 3D-printed obj...

5 Common 3D Printing Problems and their Solutions

Image
3D printing is an exciting and rapidly developing technology that has brought about a revolution in the field of manufacturing, design, and prototyping. However, like any technology, 3D printing can also come with its own set of problems. In this blog, we will discuss some c ommon 3D printing problems and their solutions. 1. Under and Over Extrusion Under extrusion occurs when the 3D printer does not extrude enough plastic, which results in gaps between the infill and the outer boundaries of the object being printed. If the nozzle does not extrude a sufficient amount of plastic, there will be spaces between the extrusions that make up each layer.   Over-extrusion occurs when a printer prints an excessive amount of plastic , leading to a buildup of excess plastic that gives the appearance that the parts are melting. Cause:  The most common cause of under and over-extrusion is an incorrect extrusion multiplier – a setting in the software that specifies the rate at which your...

How to Get Perfect Print Results with 3D Printing (Infill)

Image
Compared to other manufacturing methods, 3D printing allows you to carefully control the exterior walls (or perimeters) and the infill. No matter how thick they are, the walls are the part's outermost parts. The infill is everything within the walls. You have some control over the walls, but the infill is much more dynamic and has a big impact on a part's strength, weight, structure, buoyancy, and more. In 3D printing, you can set a number of parameters that control how the part's infill is made. When a 3D model is turned into G-code instructions, these parameters are set in a programme called a "slicer." Most of these parameters are important, but the most important ones are infill density and infill pattern.   In this blog, we'll talk about the basics of these things as well as some of the most common infill densities and infill patterns. Infill Density  The "fullness" of the interior of a part is determined by its infill density. This is typ...
