PLA+ & PLA

PLA is a product derived from natural crops like corn, unlike other polymer plastics. It is eco-friendly and biodegradable. Almost all FDM 3D printers can print with PLA. As its melting point is low, PLA is very easy to print.

PLA+ is PLA that has been enhanced by adding modifiers during PLA synthesis.The mechanical properties (flexibility, strength, ductility, etc.) of PLA+ are superior. 3D printed models from PLA+ have a smoother surface and better appearance.

3D Printer Resins: Types and Properties

图片
3D printer resins are the materials used in liquid resin stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers or LCD/DLP 3d printers. There are several different types of resin available, each with its own properties and applications. The main types of 3D printer resin include: Standard Resin : This is a general purpose resin used for prototyping. It has good strength, impact resistance and detail resolution. Standard resin works well for concept models, functional prototypes and some end-use parts. Tough Resin : This resin has enhanced flexibility and impact resistance. It's a good option for parts that need to flex or bend without breaking. Tough resin works well for hinges, handles and other movable components. Clear Resin : This transparent resin allows the internal features of a 3D printed part to be visible. Clear resin has applications in lighting fixtures, lenses, displays and parts with decorative fill patterns. Castable Resin : This resin is specially formulated for creating molds and ca...

The 3D scanner will be the necessary tool for AR/VR creators

  As same as the developing history of 3D printers, the 3D scanners will be more and more popular in the Consumer Grade market. The price of a Handheld 3D scanner with high accuracy declined quickly, cause of several new 3D scanners released by some 3D scanner firms. You can buy a handy 3D scanner with 0.1mm accuracy under $700 now. So, it is affordable for most 3D designers. The 3D scanner will be the necessary tool for AR/VR creators.

How to 3D Print an Electric Racing Car

图片
The electric racing car is an important STEAM project at the University. It attracts many s tudents in engineering disciplines to take part in this project. How to make an  electric racing car? The 3D printer is a powerful tool for making  electric racing cars . And students are also skilled in 3D printing. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you bring your racing car to life. Step 1: Design Your Car Confirm the specs You should choose the speed and the engine power, for these two core specs to confirm other specs like size and control system. Software Selection Start with design software like Fusion 360 or Tinkercad. These tools allow you to create detailed models of your car components. Electric motors and drive systems are the core of  an  electric racing car. You should confirm the electric motors and drive systems first and then to design the Chassis & Shell. Key Components Chassis : Design a sturdy frame to house all components. Body : Create...
