Meat has always been a vital component of meals in all cultures regarding our diets. The US consumes meat at the second-highest rate in the world.  The consumption of red meat and poultry per capita is anticipated to decline in 2022, though this trend has already begun. Additionally, the growing demand for meat and fish substitutes shows that society’s consumption patterns are changing. Revo Foods, an Austrian business that uses 3D printing to create premium plant-based seafood, has been covered by us in the past. It was the first to introduce salmon and tuna that were printed in 3D. The…

When looking around for FDM printers, you’ll most likely run across the terms Direct Drive and Bowden. The basic principle is the same – using an extruder to push filament through a heated nozzle – the difference is where that extruder is located. A direct extrusion system pushes the filament into the hot end by mounting the extruder on the printhead. In contrast, a Bowden system typically has the extruder mounted on the printer’s frame. To get to the printhead, the filament, therefore, passes through a PTFE tube. Although the results of both setups are the same, the different designs…

Food design and printing with 3D printers is a young but developing field. Quince Market Insights projects that between now and 2030, the global market for 3D printed food will grow at a CAGR of roughly 48%. 3D printed food is produced using conventional 3D printers and soft, eatable materials that can be extruded through a nozzle. The printer deposits food material layer by layer on a computer-generated model to create a final three-dimensional entree. Food researchers must experiment with ingredient formulations and material characteristics like viscosity to achieve the desired structure, flavor, and texture. The advantages and disadvantages of…

Although most people consider the first layer the start of a print, it isn’t always the first thing to be printed on the build plate. 3D printing raft and brim (an adhesion assistant) can be 3D printed before the first layer of your 3D model to make it stick well. These adhesion aids are designed to accomplish two primary goals. Before beginning your print, lay out some filament to ensure your printer’s extrusion is functioning correctly. The second goal is typically to aid the first layer in maintaining its connection to the build plate throughout the print. This article will…

If you’ve read some articles or watched some tutorials about software for 3D modeling, you have already heard several techniques for turning a simple shape into a 3D model. The two main methods involve creating a 3D model from scratch using specialized software or 3D scanning an existing object, person, or scene. Both strategies are frequently used by experts in various fields, including fashion, architecture, healthcare, video games, movies, and animation. In this article, we’ll examine the best software for 3D modeling options for both newcomers and seasoned users, free and paid. Additionally, we will help you choose the option…

Do you want to know how to get the perfect top and bottom layers for 3D printing? These settings can add some unique features to your models. To achieve the perfect top and bottom layers, you must have a good top and bottom thickness between 1.2 and 1.6 mm. Enable Ironing, and Top/Bottom Patterns are beneficial settings. Monotonic Top/Bottom Order offers a smoother extrusion pathway, which is another setting that users find helpful. These are the fundamental responses, but keep reading for more valuable details on some excellent top & bottom layers. What Does 3D Printing Top & Bottom Layers…

Do you know that the 3D printed LEGO duck is an exact replica of a collector’s item, the 2020s 40501 Wooden Duck? Most likely, you’ve heard of LEGO. These iconic toys are available in a variety of colors, shapes, and themes and can be found all over the world! The legendary toy has shaped entire generations and is still just as relevant today, whether it’s building rocket ships, houses, or cars. The second part was officially created by LEGO using 3D printing at a recent LEGO House event targeted specifically at adult LEGO fans. This 3D printed object replicates the…

A 3D model for printing is undoubtedly one of the most essential steps in 3D printing. Surveyors, architects, and engineers frequently use it to produce topographic maps, meshes, cloud points, or drawings based on the real world. These can be acquired in various ways, including using scanners, CAD, and other modeling software. Still, one method that has gained ground recently is photogrammetry. Like 3D scanning, photogrammetry software enables users to record, measure, and interpret—in this case, photographic images—real-world objects in their natural state to obtain accurate data. We will introduce some of the most well-known photogrammetry software currently available in…
