Admittedly it’s a bit of a niche application, but if you need lots of flat 3D printed objects, one way to go about it is to print them in a stack and separate them somehow. An old(er) solution is to ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

The 3D printing industry is valued at more than $17 billion and it is expected to more than double that by 2026. There are many useful applications for 3D builds, from toys to prosthetics. But buying ...
