More and more companies are considering taking advantage of the benefits of pellet 3D printing. As some of the greatest challenges facing companies are the material limitations associated with filament production, the interest in using pellets instead has been increasing over…

It is hardly a secret that prototyping was one of the first applications for SLS 3D printing and is still one of the most popular. However, as machines, materials and post-processing are now reaching the standards expected by the manufacturing…

The benefits of additive manufacturing in a variety of sectors are well-known. Though one industry that is perhaps less discussed but has been rapidly integrating AM thanks to its unique advantages is maritime. This is especially due to the many…

One industry in which 3D printing has been growing in recent years is automotive. Thanks to the benefits of AM, car manufacturers can make lighter, personalized parts, a particular benefit for Formula One who have been forerunners in the adoption…

Currently, more and more companies are considering taking advantage of the benefits offered by pellet 3D printing. As some of the greatest challenges facing companies are the material limitations associated with filament production, the interest in using pellets instead has…

Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing process that uses industrial printhead to selectively deposit a liquid binding agent onto a thin layer of powder particles — either metal, sand, ceramics or composites — to build high-value and one-of-a-kind parts and…

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that allows for the design of large volumes of parts. The majority of plastic components that exist today are made using this technique. However, the production of a mold – most often metal –…

Though the use of metal in additive manufacturing (AM) is traditionally associated with lasers (such as in laser powder bed fusion), new metal printing solutions are continuously being developed. These new technologies can produce parts that are 30-50% lighter and…

When most people think of 3D printing, the process that comes to mind is FDM, or Fused Deposition Modeling. An extrusion-based method, FDM requires just a build plate, an extruder (or multiple) and a filament for users to print their…

Though there are a number of materials that can be used for 3D printing, it is undeniable that the most popular materials are polymers. Plastics, especially high-performance thermoplastics, are used in a variety of industries for functions as wide-ranging as…

Process control in Laser Powder bed Fusion (L-PBF) is often referred to as the holy grail for for industrial metal 3D printing. Though only offered by certain companies and machines, process control significantly reduces errors in printing which in turn…

On March 18th at 8AM EDT (1PM CET), ADDITIV Aerospace will open its doors to Aerospace professionals to discuss the applications for additive manufacturing (AM) in the sector. This 100% virtual event will be an ideal opportunity to learn how…
