Kai Parthy is a German engineer who creates odd printing filaments for 3D printers. His previous projects, LayWoo-d3 and Laybrick, are two non-warping plastics that offer wood and brick-like ...

You can get lots of clear plastic filament, but the process of printing layers makes the transparency turn cloudy, apparently mostly due to the small gaps between the layers.

We’re no strangers to seeing translucent 3D printed parts: if you print in a clear filament with thin enough walls you can sorta see through the resulting parts. It’s not perfect, but if you ...

In this installment, Charles tells us why using high-quality filament is one of the most important parameters in achieving good results.

We break down the pros and cons of the various types of 3D printing materials, from PETG to TPU, to help you figure out which filament is best for your prints.

3D printing filament manufacture Fillamentum and creator of the awesome Timberfill wood filament, has launched two new additions to its range in the form of the Wood and Crystal Clear filaments ...

The filament is the feedstock for FDM/FFF 3D printers, and you might have gotten a small amount of even a roll of it with your printer purchase, but where do you buy more? Do you go ...

Prusa Research is a well-known name in the 3D printing world for its amazing printers. They have branched out into filament and we ask if it's worth your time to buy.

A filament for 3D printing made of nylon, polyolefin and cellulose is part of an Ohio project to create medical devices such as wearable sensors.

In another and similar effort to make filament-based 3D printing more green, Purdue University students recently created a soy-based recyclable filament for 3D printing — and have the top prize ...
