3D technology as a driver of dual-use technology
The same production chain for the civilian and defense sectors Technological advancements are rapidly changing the rules of the game in industry and the security sector. Dual-use technology refers to technology in which the same manufacturing methods, components, or products can be utilized in two different industries:• the civilian industry, which serves businesses and consumers• the defense industry, which serves the government and the armed forces This means that production does not need to be developed separately for multiple sectors. The result is faster […]

PLA filament in 3D printing – Pros and cons, and tips for success
PLA filament in 3D printing PLA (polylactide) filament is the most common and popular material in 3D printing due to its easy printability and clean print finish. PLA is made from renewable raw materials such as corn, sugar cane, and starch. Advantages of PLA filament Disadvantages of PLA filament 3D printing with PLA filament Applications of PLA filament PLA cannot withstand high temperatures or heavy mechanical stress. Therefore, it is best suited for light and visual parts. At the Aliner3D online store, you will find […]
Filament guide for 3D printing – the most common materials and their uses
Choosing the right filament determines whether the 3D print will meet the requirements set for it. There are many differences between materials, which is why it is important to choose a material that is suitable for the intended use. PLA filament PLA is the most common and popular material in 3D printing due to its ease of printing and clean print quality. PLA is an easy-to-use material that is suitable for all types of 3D printers. PLA (polylactide) is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable natural resources such as corn, […]
How to choose filament for 3D printing?
The choice of material determines the final result of 3D printing and directly affects the durability, appearance, and functionality of the product. "3D printing is a manufacturing method in which a product is built layer by layer based on a digital 3D model. The method is also called additive manufacturing because no material is removed; instead, the product is created by adding material." Read more about 3D printing -> What is filament and what is it used for? Filament is the raw material used in 3D filament deposition modeling (FDM/FFF), i.e., plastic […]
3D PRINTING
3D printing is a manufacturing method in which a three-dimensional object is created layer by layer from a digital 3D model. What is 3D printing and how does it work? 3D printing is a manufacturing method in which a product is built layer by layer based on a digital 3D model. The method is also called additive manufacturing because no material is removed; instead, the product is created by adding material layer by layer according to the 3D model. There are several 3D printing techniques, each with its own purpose, materials, and […]
When to choose 3D scanning and reverse engineering, and why?
3D scanning and reverse engineering (RE) can be used for virtually all products, parts, and components. After reverse engineering, the 3D model can be modified according to the customer's wishes and needs. With reverse engineering (RE), we can fill in the missing parts and optimize the structure, even if the original part is missing pieces/parts or is damaged. After scanning and reverse engineering, we create an accurate and editable 3D model that can be used directly in 3D printing [...].
What does 3D scanning and reverse engineering mean?
3D scanning and reverse engineering are modern technologies used to create accurate 3D models of existing parts, products, spaces – or even people. This method is a fast and cost-effective solution, especially when: What does 3D scanning mean? 3D scanning is a process in which a physical product is accurately digitized into a three-dimensional model. Aliner3D uses state-of-the-art scanners that capture all shapes and details, even […]
