| 3D Printing with PLA Filament |
| Description: Polylactide, also known as Polylactic Acid is a biodegradable thermoplastic printer filament. PLA is synthesized from organic sugars and is the most common material used for 3D printing due to its eco-friendliness and ease of use. |

| 3D Printing with ABS Filament |
| ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) thermoplastic 3d printing filament is a premium grade material, excellent for detailed and functional 3D printing applications. |
|
| ABS Plastic Filament Engineering Information |
| ABS is a low cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine and 3D print. ABS is an ideal material for structural applications where impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required. ABS is one of the most successful of the engineering thermoplastics available. |

| Learning to Get Great 3D Prints |
| Learning to Get Great 3D Prints - Like all new endeavors, there IS a learning curve with 3D printing. This is still the pioneering era for desktop printing and we are very fortunate to have such a great community here as well as other resources on the web. But the challenge with all the information out there is finding it when YOU need it and deciphering the many different opinions and practices - some of which are good and some of which are, well, let's just say "poppycock". Another part of the challenge is there are many | Learning to Get Great 3D Prints |

| 3D Metal Printing |
| 3D Metal Printing Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)- Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is an additive metal fabrication technology, sometimes mistakenly referred to as selective laser sintering (SLS) or selective laser melting (SLM). |

| Investment Casting Using Stereolithography |
| In this paper we describe procedures and lessons learned in the use of stereolithography for manufacturing objects using investment casting. Procedures described are the results of manufacturing complex components used in a unique structural framework. The complexity of the object is due to varying radii and angles, hollowness, sockets of constant wall thickness where tubular structural members are designed to mate, as well as sizes exceeding work envelope. |

| Rapid Prototype Manufacturing Review |
| 3D Printing Rapid prototyping is the method for the creation of parts derived from 3D CAD data. The derived part is decomposed into slices (down to 0.003 inches thick), and SLA, STL builds the part a layer at a time. The contour and interior of a slice are created using a laser to solidify liquid polymer. |
