Fused deposition modeling printing is the most common printing method used in 3D printing. The two key words are "deposition" and "fused". Basically, what an FDM 3D printer does is heat up plastic, ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

Soft lithography is a fabrication technique used to create micro- and nanoscale patterns. Developed in the early 1990s by George M. Whitesides and colleagues, it simplifies pattern formation by using ...
