3D Printing RX – Ease of Accessibility and Substance Abuse One of the greatest contributing factors to the rise of prescription drug abuse is the ease of accessibility. Prescription drugs have become readily available in most households, and as a result prescription drug addiction has exploded in recent years. The increased availability of 3D printers […]

OT4 creates orthotics with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology and HP 3D PA 11 material, resulting in lighter, softer orthoses. Learn more about the 3D Printing Industry!

A team at Carnegie Mellon University, came up with design and its concept actually seems very familiar to crafters everywhere. Inspired by the techniques in handling a glue gun, they used a conventional fused deposition modeling (FDM), which is a form of 3D Printing, to fabricate these types of plastic hairs. You know when you […]
