3D printers, 3D printing materials and technologies for additive manufacturing

3D Printing has grown rapidly and it’s gaining popularity in areas like fashion, aeronautics, and medicine; thanks to innovative new materials we see this technology being used for wildly different purposes. The future of new 3D printing materials wi...

3D printing gluing is a big topic for both hobbyists and professional. We receive questions from people on a near-daily basis who find themselves in a bind over what glue to use on their 3D printed objects. As a materials engineer at Sculpteo, I’d lo...

As a 3D printing service, we have our mind set on two things: offering you the widest control over our machines and bringing you innovative finishes to your 3D prints. That’s why, a few weeks ago, we launched a new printing resolution for our plastic...

3D printing is not a unique process with just one material or one technology. In fact, when you’re looking for a 3D printed part, you can choose between many solutions and this choice will largely impact the outcome. Depending on where you are in the...

Being able to construct an object through 3D printing—directly in color to boot—is a very enticing prospect. To achieve this, some 3D printer manufacturers have developed technologies that allow color to be added directly during the 3D printing proce...

If you’re interested in 3D printing and our manufacturing methods, you probably know about the most widely used 3D printing materials. Those include polyamide, resin, alumide, multicolor and some metals. However, these materials are just the tip of t...

This is a pretty usual situation. You have a 3D file with texture and you want to 3D print it in our multicolor material. It’s reasonable to aim for the best possible print and therefore use the highest possible resolution for your texture. That’s wh...

How do you take into account thermal shrinkage and printing resolution when you’re designing your 3D model? Matthew, process engineer at Sculpteo, explains the process in detail and give tips for your mechanical parts. For this  post we will focus on...

LAST UPDATE: 03/01/2017 At Sculpteo we’re very proud to offer a wide range of 3D printing materials. Plastics, metals, resins.. we hope you’ll find what you need! We have a plethora of materials and finishes that you can access directly online and ha...

There’s a 3D printer for everyone on the market today. It doesn’t matter if you’re an individual designer looking to hack objects around the house, a large company looking to manufacture goods for a global market or anyone in between – there’s a prin...
