Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printers which squirt out molten plastic layer by layer are by far the most popular type in general use. Most machines extrude plastic through a nozzle above print ...

If you’ve done even a small amount of 3D printing, you probably ran into the challenge of printing a small hole on top of a larger hole. The conventional solution is just to add support, but in the ...

A new neural field-based optimization method aims to reshape parts to reduce overhangs and, in turn, minimize the need for 3D printing support structures.
