When just starting out with a resin 3D printer, it is important to be well-informed, not only about the various options available, but also about the tools needed to optimize prints. From material selection to practical advice, our site has…

In the world of 3D printing, choosing the right file format is a crucial step in guaranteeing the quality and efficiency of your prints.  But a multitude of formats available, it can be difficult to know which one is best…

What if it were possible to combine additive and formative manufacturing in a single system? While many machines can change tool heads, offering hybrid production, a team of researchers from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering has developed a…

When most people think of stereolithography (SLA) or other resin 3D printing processes, they image a smaller build size. However, increasingly, we are seeing solutions that have been designed for large-format SLA. Not just that, but this industrial process is…

Many parts are not immediately usable after 3D printing and, depending on the printing process chosen, require cleaning and finishing. Through this, it is possible to improve an object’s mechanical properties or refine its surface finish. There are a multitude…

A laser engraver is a machine that reproduces a shape (symbol, photo, logo, etc.) on a variety of materials using a heat source – a laser in this case. In concrete terms, the laser heats up wood, metal, leather or…

Already, additive manufacturing is being used extensively in the production of equipment, tools molds and dies. This includes not only the production of prototypes but also the creation of strong, durable and customized end-use parts. One clear example of this…

3D printing continues to be a key tool for many industries, enabling the creation of parts with complex geometries and advanced materials. In the case of metals, advances in this technology have opened up new possibilities in a multitude of…

Metal additive manufacturing has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, making it possible to create complex shapes with enhanced performance and quality. The processes that offer these possibilities are numerous: powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting,…

ViscoTec offers high-precision dosing pumps and systems that are used all over the world. Customer satisfaction is always at the forefront of the company’s activities, which is why it has enjoyed considerable success since its founding back in 1997. Starting…

One of the core aspects that makes RAPID + TCT more than just a trade show is its conference. This year, there will be more than 140 technical presentations divided into eight tracks, only accessible for attendees with a conference…

Additive manufacturing is establishing itself as a valuable technology in many sectors. In the past, we’ve explored its impact in fields such as jewelry, the marine industry, art, sport and even the Olympics, through various infographics. Today, we turn our…
