What if you could glue plastic to wood without adhesives or chemicals? That’s the goal of a team of researchers from Graz University of Technology in Austria. They used additive manufacturing to deposit different materials on wood, layer by layer,…

In high-stakes industries like aerospace and defense, the demand for advanced materials that can endure extreme environments is relentless. Refractory alloys, known for their exceptional resistance to heat and wear, are becoming indispensable in these fields. Among them, Niobium C103…

At a time when the trend is to use more environmentally-friendly raw materials in the production of everyday objects, SofiaHagen x Studio Marmi have worked together to create 3D-printed furniture from hemp. Called Hempla, this is a collection of seats…

Additive manufacturing users are increasingly looking for technical materials that meet their requirements and constraints. As a result, we have seen the materials market grow exponentially in recent years, with the aim of offering higher-performance solutions. This is true, for…

Sport is for everyone and therefore should be accessible to all, regardless of individual conditions and limitations. Nevertheless, sports are often associated with performance, and in order to achieve this, physical integrity is wrongly assumed to be a basic requirement.…

Incus GmbH has developed a ceremonial mace for Yale University in collaboration with engineer and artist Jacob Eldred. As the company announced on LinkedIn last week, Incus’ metal 3D printing process was also used in the process. The ceremonial mace…

Engineers are always looking for reliable solutions to optimize their designs and ensure that they can be manufactured in the best possible way, whatever their complexity. However, most of these solutions often involve a lot of back-and-forth between design, simulation,…

It is hardly a secret that 2024 has been a challenging year for the 3D printing sector. In a sharp contrast to just a few years ago, we are seeing fewer and fewer mergers and acquisitions and those who have…

In our #Working3D interview series, we tell you about exciting professions within the AM landscape. In this latest interview, we learned how exactly AM can be used in product design. To do this, we spoke to Alex Kimber, industrial designer…

The first of the four fundamental steps in the additive manufacturing process is design. As such, as might be expected, today there are many software tools available to create 3D models. One of the most popular online 3D design solutions…

The use of 3D bioprinting in regenerative medicine continues to grow. More and more companies are developing their own additive manufacturing solutions to create organs and tissues tailored to the needs of individual patients. With this in mind, biotech company…

Now that Sunday is finally here, we are taking a look back at the best 3D printing videos from the past week. Starting with the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, affectionately referred to as ‘America’s Shipyard,’ where we go behind the scenes…
