What is 3D printing? If you’ve had any nagging questions when it comes to how or why 3D printing works, we’ve put together everything you need to know in one place. Here are all your 3D Printing Answers. The press (Sculpteo/blog included) put out dai...

Christmas is the best time for kids! And many kids (even the big kids that we are) are dreaming of 3D printed surprises like one from the uglyaddons or Amazon!! However you’ve been quite a few to show concern about the 3D printed product’s safety. Be...

Multicolor prints undergo a slightly different process during upload than our other prints. It’s important to remember some key requirements for your file, to be sure that the colored texture of your file will be maintained during the print. At Sculp...

It is possible to generate finer layer thickness using Batch Control. Most of Sculpteo’s printers use a process called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which involves rolling multiple thin layers of polyamide in a basin. Those layers are then fused t...

Almost a year ago, we were the first 3D pritning service to offer a wax material. During that time, we’ve kept wax in beta but due to the high standards we set for our prints, we took the difficult decision to shut it down. We know many of you were r...

Hi, I’m Matthew, material engineer at Sculpteo and I start this new blog category to offer DIY tips to improve your 3D prints. I’ll mostly cover very simple things that we don’t necessarily offer in our processes, but that can easily be done at home....

This is the final installment of the “Material Considerations for Additive Manufacturing of Polymers” series investigating the tensile performance of polymers processed with Additive Manufacturing. To quickly recap, Part 1 of this series described tw...

As was mentioned in “Material Considerations for Additive Manufacturing of Polymers: Part 1”, the material properties of a part manufactured via AM do not necessary reflect the material data sheet that the manufacturers release. Luckily for designers...

Hi Everyone, I’m Phil. This week, we’re starting a new series of posts on material considerations for 3D printing with plastic. When designing parts you intend to 3D print, being aware of the material (or system) you plan on building your part with i...
