Filament winding is a specialist technique which involves wrapping continuous fibres around a rotating mandrel to create rigid but lightweight components. Polar Technology, an engineering and ...

No matter how far down the 3D printing rabbit hole we descend, chances are pretty good that most of us won’t ever need to move filament from one spool to another. But even so, you’ve got to respect ...

DarkAero replaced butt joints in the center wing box assembly to increase the flight test envelope in high-speed gust load conditions for its DarkAero 1 prototype composite aircraft.

Empty spools from 3D printer filament are the kind of thing that begs to be repurposed, and one option is [3d-printy]’s vertical filament spool parts drawer design. The way this solution works is by ...

3D printing can cause a lot a wasted material and its not very easy to recycle or use again, but Edward Clifford who is based in the UK thinks he might have a solution called FilaFab. FilaFab has been ...
