Types of 3D Printing
The Different 3D Printing Technologies While all 3D printing is based on the same principle of building objects layer by layer, there are several different types of 3D printing technologies. Some of the most common technologies are: Fused Deposition Mode

Usecases: cutting metal
Profile cuts in copper The following was just a little experiment in doing profile cuts in copper with a 2-flute 1/8'' square endmill (#102Z from Carbide 3D store), to figure out which feeds and speeds would work. I used a 100mmx100mm (~4''×4'') piece of
Usecases: cutting plastics
Plastics are relatively easy to mill, but they are less forgiving than wood if feeds and speeds are not set to appropriate values. The reason is that plastic melts easily when heated, and since cutting forces produce heat...the name of the game is to evac
Usecases: cutting wood
These usecases are intended to illustrate how the information from the Feeds & speeds section can be used to determine workable cutting parameters, for a project that uses wood as the stock material. Wood is quite forgiving, in the sense that the range of

WoodFill DataSheets: Getting started For your first prints with woodFill we advise to start out with relatively high layer heights. While experimenting we noticed that woodFill performs better at 0,25-0,3mm layer height, combined with printing speeds of about 50-8
Workholding
Workholding can be confusing at first because there are many (many) ways to do it, and everyone seems to have their own tricks. The goals are: obviously, that the stock material will not come off during the cut, which would both ruin the piece and be dang
