Why you want different nozzle sizes James Bricknell/CNET Often the purpose of your 3D model dictates the settings you'll use to print it.

In this video, I explore multicolor, multi-material, and multi-nozzle size 3D printing using the 5-headed Prusa XL. The video covers the use of different nozzle sizes within a single print, combining ...

On a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, the nozzle size dictates how small a detail you can print. Put simply, you can’t print features smaller than your nozzle for the same reason you ...

Entrepreneurs in Denmark have taken another step towards improving the general usability of 3D printers with the Diamond Hotend, a single 3D extruder unit that can mix and melt three filaments ...

The 3D-printing industry has struggled with what is known as the throughput-resolution tradeoff—the speed at which 3D printers deposit material versus the resolution of the finished product.

Although 3D printing technology continues to improve, it's still limited by relatively long print times and low resolution. A new technology could help, by simultaneously utilizing multiple small ...

Inkjet printing technologies have a few limitations. A new electrostatic 3D printing multi-nozzle design that is agnostic to ink thickness can change that.

Interestingly, to build the morphing nozzle itself, the team actually turned to a different 3D printing technology called "PolyJet Printing." ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to ...

From what I've read the "nozzle size" associated with the printer probably shouldn't really matter at all (it might change some defaults when you load profiles, but I'm not sure it even does that ...

Tiny nozzles are prone to every 3D printer’s bane: clogged nozzles. To mitigate this, the team built a closed-loop control that measured electrical current between the work area and inside the ...

The student-led project, named RAPTURE, was initially designed to help ARIS (the Swiss Academic Space Initiative) build ...
