Las impresoras 3D usan muchas tecnologías. Las más económicas utilizan un rollo de una tira de plástico delgada, la cual se va calentando en la cabeza de impresión (a unos cientos de grados centígrados), y es la que permite la producción de piezas tridimensionales. El problema es que por una parte, la resolución de estas impresoras no es la mejor y muchas veces las piezas creadas se ven -digamos- pixeladas. Sin embargo, a veces un segundo problemas está presente: las rebabas y detalles que hacen que la pieza impresa no se vea bien. (Read More)

Retouch3D is a heated tool created by a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania startup of the same name that was designed to let makers touch up their 3D-printed objects.

If you've never used a 3D printer, then you might not be aware of the fact that the objects they create don't always emerge in their final, flawless form. They often contain small printing errors, fringes of stray material, and supporting structures that need to be removed. Retouch3D uses heat to melt away those imperfections. (Read More)

The democratization of 3D printing has made many a dream and idea come true, but for all the fairy tale stories, some things are kept out of the media. Yes, 3D printing does seem like magic, almost instantly giving physical existence to otherwise digital only objects, but the product that comes out of the printer is rarely the polished finished product you get to see in the end of the process. There's still a lot of cruft to be cut out first, a tiresome and ugly process that Retouch3D wants to cut out as well. (Read More)

As 3D printing becomes more widespread and entrepreneurs become more familiar with its possibilities and especially with its limitations, new products are beginning to emerge as answers to common issues, such as that of fixing errors and removing supports. That is what Retouch3D is going to do, if it achieves its Kickstarter funding goal of $30,000 (at the time of this writing, it stands at about 30%). (Read More)
