3D printing news

What were the 3D printing trends of 2020? How is the additive manufacturing industry changing? Today, we look back on the 3D printing trends that shaped the industry during 2020. Despite COVID-19, the industry developed healthily and some exciting developments…

Additive manufacturing, in contrast to traditional machining techniques, makes it possible to produce parts with complex geometries whose total weight can be optimized using a numerical method called topology optimization. This method also maximizes the mechanical strength of the part…

Redwire, the new leader in mission critical space solutions announced that its Ceramic Manufacturing Module (CMM) – initially developed by Made in Space – successfully manufactured a ceramic part in space. Its module is based on stereolithography (SLA) and uses pre-ceramic…

On the 10th of December, 3Dnatives hoted a webinar with Prodways, Sculpteo and BASF Forward AM to talk about Polypropylene (PP) applications in Additive Manufacturing. Widely used in the plastic injection industry, Polypropylene offers interesting characteristics for industrial applications such…

Recently, MIT researchers developed a 3D printing system able of giving an object more salient features by reproducing its glossiness. Gloss remains a challenge to 3D print because hardware isn’t designed to deal with the different viscosities of the varnishes…

The Israeli food-tech company SavorEat produces 3D-printed plant-based meat alternatives. After going public earlier this year, SavorEat made history. It was the first company of its kind to be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and raised NIS…

Not so long ago, the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) released its report on the environmental impact of metal additive manufacturing. Conducted by Jeremy Faludi of Delft University of Technology and Corrie Van Sice of Dartmouth College, the study…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive: check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you…

Formula 1 is releasing a new collection of fragrances, the F1 Fragrances Engineered Collection, which includes a range of five luxury scents. Back in 2019, Formula 1 had launched its first line of fragrances using metal 3D printing technology, in…

At ETH Zurich, researchers have developed 3D printed microrobots that are capable of delivering drug payloads via blood vessels in the human body. These microrobots were created with a 3D printing technique that involves interlocking multiple materials in a complex…

The German company AESUB has developed a variety of 3D scanning sprays that improve the quality of scans, giving them a clear, matte finish. There are currently two products available: AESUB Blue, a mattifying spray that evaporates just a few…

The German car manufacturer Volkswagen has invested in two new Stratasys 3D printers to improve its prototyping capabilities and optimize car design. This is not the first time that Volkswagen has integrated additive manufacturing into its production process. In fact,…
