A Japanese lab is investing some time in the possibilities of a 5-axis 3D printer. They show it printing using five axis as well as doing finish machining on a printed part. We’ve covered parts ...

Two researchers at Penn State have created a new system for five-axis additive 3D-printing that reduces the amount and density of support materials needed for making printed objects. In a paper ...

Japanese-based equipment manufacturer and developer Enomoto Kogyo has this week unveiled a new 5-axis Hybrid 3D printer they have developed in collaboration with Shizuoka University of Art and ...

Master’s Student Øyvind Kallevik Grutle at the University of Oslo has created a 5 axis 3D printer for his studies with the first prototype of the machine taking 2-3 months to build and design ...

Is 5-Axis Direct to Object Printer Possible? In the paragraphs above, we outlined two ways to get art on to a 3D object – direct to object and printing 2D art and then forming it to a 3D object.

The most common 3D printer design on the market has a print head with just three axes of movement, which means the printer and the table have to remain perfectly flat and stable at all times. But ...

Industrial-Grade Z-Axis Stability Stability is critical for 3D printing, and the QIDI Plus4 addresses this with an independent dual Z-axis motor drive.

How a 3D printer works can vary depending on the type of printing it's doing. Use this guide to understand the variations in materials and technique.
