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…

After the success of previous events, including ADDITIV medical France and ADDITIV digital World, ADDITIV is organizing a new 100% virtual event, this time dedicated to additive manufacturing in Aerospace. Over the course of one day, participants will be able…

There are many things to consider when choosing material for 3D printing projects, and the questions to be answered just become more daunting when materials need to be engineering-grade, meaning they should be able to stand up to more rigorous…

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…

Additive manufacturing is often seen as an environmentally friendlier production method to conventional manufacturing because of its potential for local production and because it can allow for zero-waste manufacturing. It is also seen as one of the manufacturing technologies enabling…

On the 29th of October, 3Dnatives hosted a webinar on how to start and scale a 3D printing service. Mike Moceri, CEO of MakerOS, led this masterclass in not just how to build a 3D printing service from the ground up,…

Material extrusion, also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology is still the most widely used technology in the AM market. In recent years, this segment of AM has undergone many changes: in particular, there has been an increase in…
