Every year in Frankfurt, Germany, we venture to Formnext, where the latest news and innovations in the additive manufacturing sector are presented. The 2023 edition of the event took place last week and has given the industry a lot to…

We are once again on the road to Frankfurt visiting Formnext in order to bring you the latest news from the additive manufacturing world. Of course, when visiting the halls of the expo, the HP booth is always an interesting…

When will we be able to print usable organs? That is probably the question most often asked in connection with 3D bioprinting. And we have regularly reported on groundbreaking progress in this direction. For example, there are exciting projects to…

In an effort to address the enormous amount of annual waste produced in the European Union in the form of usable consumer goods, the Internal Market and Consumer Committee of the EU Parliament (IMCO) has been campaigning for the right…

As additive manufacturing continues to industrialize, larger-scale production is also increasingly important. However, this can be difficult to achieve. Hence, there is a growing focus on selective laser sintering (SLS). This polymer 3D printing process is well-known for its industrial…

Formnext is coming up quickly! And as one of the biggest additive manufacturing events of the year, it will certainly allow many different companies to show their innovations to a wider field. However, with over 800 exhibitors, it can be…

If you are part of the 3D printing industry or at least somewhat familiar with the technology, you will have heard of the concept of isotropy, which is defined as uniformity in all orientations. Thus, if we apply it to…

In additive manufacturing, there are four fundamental stages: design, lamination, printing and post-processing. This last step is especially important, regardless of the manufacturing technology used, as it gives the parts an optimal surface finish. In addition, many post-processing techniques are…

We’re back with a new episode of our Inside 3D Tour series! As you may know, with these videos, we aim to get a first-hand look at the facilities and production plants of the major companies in additive manufacturing. Talking…

Industry giants Stratasys and Desktop Metal have frequently been in the news in the past few years, initially as both companies have undertaken their own mergers and acquisitions. in 2021, DM acquired companies EnvisionTEC and ExOne, specialists in DLP and…

Since stereolithography, the first additive manufacturing technology, was invented in the early 80s, there has always been a place for resin 3D printing in the sector. Currently, a number of different variations exist but the two most common remain DLP…

In Ukraine’s continued fight against Russia, the use of 3D printers has taken on an ever-growing role. The transportable, on-site, on-demand nature of additive manufacturing has proven to be a real boost to the Ukrainian war effort. Applications are varied…
