Alumide is a material used in 3D printing that consists of nylon filled with aluminium dust, the name derived from combining ‘aluminium’ and ‘polyamide’. These alumide models are constructed from a blend of grey aluminium powder and it is a somewhat rigid material that resists some pressure being bent. These techniques can be learned in Nexgen – 3D printing in Chennai.

1. 3D Prints Can Be Done With Movable Parts

Alumide creates many amazing things and one of the best examples is “Articulated Cube II” by Kurt Plagge. Kurt created a 3D-printed puzzle box that the box can be opened only by turning the right switches.

The exact image of the 3D prints with movable images has been given below.
