The diameter of the filament is defined by the process that takes place after the plastic has ...

It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a "drum" to define a differentially charged image. [1] The drum then selectively collects electrically charged ...
Digital printing is a method of printing from a digital -based image directly to a variety of media. [1] It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.
