3D scanners have found their way into many different sectors. One industry that has especially embraced them is dentistry. Thanks to 3D scanning, dentists can create fully customizable retainers and prosthetics for their patients. This can be done with either…

3D printing has evolved as a technology from a tool for prototyping to a popular manufacturing process. Increasingly, technical components are also being created using additive manufacturing (AM) for industrial purposes. As a result, a wide variety of industries, from…

Today, there are many materials compatible with additive manufacturing, from thermoplastics to metals, ceramics and photosensitive resins. They offer a wide range of properties to meet the requirements of multiple sectors such as aerospace, automotive, or medical. Looking at the…

We are hearing more and more often about projects in which concrete 3D printing is being implemented. Most of these projects are in the construction sector. In the past, we have reported on a 3D-printed parking lot, a concrete tower,…

When it comes to the quality of additively manufactured components, one thing above all makes a difference: the material used. For binder jetting, HP’s Multi-Jet Fusion technology or selective laser sintering (SLS), this means that the powders used are critical…

As 3D printing technologies gain prominence in different application sectors, more and more companies are considering taking advantage of the benefits offered by the manufacturing process. The main method they tend to opt for is the fused deposition modeling (FDM),…

Today, additive manufacturing is not only used for the creation of prototypes using thermoplastics. Advances in the development of new materials have allowed this technology to be implemented in a wide variety of sectors. This is also the case in…

Hailing from Canada, Shapeshift 3D is a startup that has developed an integrated platform to customize medical and sports equipment. The company facilitates digital transformation, scanning, and 3D printing. The company’s software solution is optimized by artificial intelligence and allows…

More and more, we are seeing industries adopting additive manufacturing. In these new sectors, one of the common ways to integrate AM technologies is through some kind of hybrid solution. In other words, a solution that has both subtractive (or…

Among the French distributors that have managed to make their mark on the 3D printing market in recent years is Atome3D.com. Since its creation in 2016, the company, which is based in the suburbs of Toulouse, has continued to grow…

Lately, more and more projects combining 3D printing and food are emerging. Earlier this year, we told you about the startup Revo Foods, which 3D prints salmon fillets from pea proteins, citrus fibers, vegetable oils and seaweed extracts, of course…

Major advances in 3D technology have made it possible to use 3D printing to help animals, specifically to improve their quality of life. Many of them are rescued, but their poor conditions do not allow them to be independent. That…
