I’m not good at math, consequently not good in geometry either. But in 3DPrinting math is used all the time, and Low Poly models are no different. Low Poly models mean that the model has fewer triangles in its geometry. Making it simple and easy to generate G-Codes and print. Today I will dig the […]
Every workshop needs a 3D Printer right? And every 3D Printer owner needs to use the 3D Printer for something meaningful, like printing tools. So now we are giving you another list on some of the best Tools you can actually use after being printed 2017. No Daniel Noree your 3D Wrench will Not be […]
