3D printing news

3D printing filament is a fundamental component of fused deposition modeling (FDM) and other extrusion-based 3D printing processes. Whether you’re a hobbyist, engineer or manufacturer, selecting the right filament is crucial to achieving strong, high-quality prints. Factors such as strength,…

According to the WHO, over 800 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. While type 2 diabetes can be prevented with a healthy diet and sufficient exercise, the causes of type 1 diabetes have not yet been fully researched. This type…

Students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have created new 3D models of mathematical surfaces and theorems. In a project spearheaded by the Illinois Mathematics Lab and the Champaign-Urbana Community Fab Lab, undergraduates at the university were able to recreate…

Founded at the end of 2022, S.A.M (Signature & Authentification des Matériaux) is a young French company born of the encounter between materials science and digital technology. Established by two researchers, S.A.M’s mission is to fight counterfeiting and protect sensitive…

For years, Stratasys’ PolyJet technology has been the benchmark in 3D printing for visual prototyping: high-fidelity color models, ultra-fine details, smooth surfaces. But beneath the aesthetics lurked a limitation known to insiders: the fragility of the materials prevented their use…

When its Kickstarter campaign closed on June 28, Anker made history: with over 17,000 backers and $46 million in pledges, the tech company now holds the record for the most-funded campaign in Kickstarter history—surpassing the previous record of $41.7 million.…

3D printing in space is no longer a myth: it’s possible to design 3D parts in such a demanding environment, where gravity presents obvious constraints and obstacles. Numerous projects have demonstrated that it is possible to create a wide variety…

We all have advertisements that have made a lasting impression on us: that music that sticks in our head, that slogan that caught our attention, those characters we associate with a brand. In short, advertising can be very powerful, and…

When we talk about the sectors that have implemented additive manufacturing, the list is long. More and more companies are betting on its adoption in the production chain. We have already seen its use in industries such as automotive, consumer…

Choosing the right slicer is a crucial step in achieving high-quality 3D prints. As the bridge between your 3D model and the printer, slicer software translates designs into precise layer-by-layer instructions. With so many options available—especially for FDM printing—finding the…

Last week, Mercedes-AMG revealed CONCEPT AMG GT XX: a pioneering technology program that offers a look into a forthcoming four-door series-production sports car. A subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG, Mercedes-AMG creates high-performance vehicles, typically with better handling and support, more carbon…

Remember the fully 3D-printed sneaker unveiled by adidas last September? Its futuristic design and slim aerodynamic silhouette were particularly striking. It was the start of a new range for the German sporting goods brand, which took the integration of additive…
