3D Printing and Covid-19
3D Printing has come a long way in recent years. As we enter a new era with Covid-19, which disturbed supply chain creating a shortage of essential medical equipment, the 3D printing community has stepped in to help. The 3D Printing community has come together with number of initiative and help. Covid-19 has pushed 3D printing to new dimension. Global 3D Printing initiative There has been a shortage of Mask & Face shields to be used by Doctors and health care workers. NASCAR’s in US is using their 3D printers to produce face shields. Their 3D printers are running...

Know Your Filament – PETG
What is PETG? PETG is an abbreviation for Polyethylene Terephthalate (with a glycol modification) which is one of the most common polymers used today. It’s used to make water bottles, food packaging, Baby Feeding bottle, and countless other common plastic items. As a 3D printing filament, PETG plastic has proven its worth as a durable material that is easy to use. It combines the most useful characteristics of ABS filament (the rigidity and mechanical properties for functional parts) with the ease of printing that PLA filament affords. Kind of a “best of both worlds” scenario. PETG is the most common form...
