We break down the pros and cons of the various types of 3D printing materials, from PETG to TPU, to help you figure out which filament is best for your prints. Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s ...

There are many factors that determine how well a 3D printer prints. While many of them involve tuning and tweaking the actual 3D printer itself, the filament you print with may be one of the most ...

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

As we know, 3D printers make objects but eliminate the waste and high tooling costs of traditional manufacturing. Because the machines print parts off of CAD files, even weird or impossible-to-find ...

In evaluating a 3D printer, we look at a number of factors, among them ease of setup and use, print quality and consistency, build volume, software, filament, connectivity, and price. Although no ...

After you pick a 3D printer, the first decision you'll have to make is what type of filament you want to use. Look deep enough, and you'll see several dozen varieties—even setting aside the numerous ...
