Filament-based 3D printers are remarkably wasteful. If you buy a kilogram of filament from your favorite supplier, the odds are that it will come wrapped around a plastic spool weighing about 250 g… ...

3D printing produces a lot of plastic. In this article, we look at the issue of plastic waste, how 3D printing might actually reduce that waste, and a really helpful application of repurposing ...

We look at a device that helps save the planet by recycling plastic water bottles into 3D printer filament. Read on for a very cool machine and some very scary stats.

Choosing the right filament can be a bit overwhelming, so save yourself the hassle and check out this list of the best 3D printing filament.

Resin or filament 3D printing: Which is best for you? Best answer: You'll want a filament (FDM) printer for printing large models such as cosplay accessories.

Modern multi-material printers certainly have their advantages, but all that purging has a way to add up to oodles of waste.

From March into August of last year, demand boomed for the spools of plastic filament used in 3D printers to form practically anything you want using computer code — including face masks.

We toured several 3D Printer factories, including Prusa Research, Printed Solid, Printerior, and ProtoPasta, to learn how 3D Printing filament is made.

We've also covered resin models in our overall guide to the best 3D printers, but here we're looking exclusively at those machines that accept plastic in filament form and extrude it to form shapes.

The Study The new paper has focused on the development of 3D-printed thermally conductive plastic filaments for novel heat sink cooling systems. Filament topology has been explored to produce ...

Endangered classic Mac plastic color returns as 3D-printer filament Mac fan paid $900 to color-match iconic Apple beige-gray "Platinum" plastic for everyone.
