If you’re keen to brush up on your 3D printing knowledge and visit some of the top blogs to do so, we’ve created a list of the blogs you’ll need to follow in 2021.
TCT Magazine started life as a newsletter focusing on Rapid Prototyping but soon became one of 3D Printing’s most established and respected voices online. From up-to-date news and information on the developing 3D technologies, TCT Magazine also shines a light on lesser-known stories and events from around the globe. Another aspect we like is that each article on the website is listed by the author, allowing you to keep a track on all your favourite writers and topics.
