The additive manufacturing industry has made huge strides in performance and productivity—but one sustainability problem has quietly grown alongside it: unused MJF powder. Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is now a mainstream industrial process for producing PA12 nylon parts at...
As 3D printing continues to move beyond prototyping and into functional, end-use applications, one question often comes up: What is the best heat resistant filament for my application? It’s a reasonable question — and one that’s often answered poorly. Heat resistance...
Biodegradable filament has become one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—topics in 3D printing. PLA is often labelled as biodegradable, bio-based materials are assumed to be environmentally harmless, and many users believe failed prints will naturally break...
The world of 3D printing rarely pauses for breath, and 2025 has been no exception. Over the past twelve months we’ve seen a steady stream of material innovation – from bio-based and hemp-reinforced filaments to the return of high-performance composites designed...
As Bambu Lab’s printers gain popularity across the UK, from hobbyists to professionals, many users are exploring how best to use third-party filament—particularly with the AMS (Automatic Material System). This guide walks you through filament and spool compatibility...
