Explore the latest advances in metal 3D printing, where researchers bypass STL files to create stronger, more efficient ...

An international team has developed a new method for laser-based powder bed fusion, which utilizes a hybrid toolpath that ...

In the beginning, there was the stereolithography file, commonly called the STL file. Although not very complex—it was essentially a collection of triangles—the STL provided a way to get data into ...

3D printing is a surprisingly complicated hobby. Those who wish to successfully master the art need to know about the different file types that their digital blueprints can be saved to. Even those who ...

STL files are everywhere. When there’s something to 3D print, it’s probably going to be an STL. Which, as long as the model is good just as it is, is no trouble at all. But sooner or later there will ...
