Everyone should be aware that additive manufacturing is not just about 3D printing itself. In addition to post-processing, the use of the right software for creating the 3D-printed model also plays a major role. If you are looking into choosing…

Today, more and more companies are developing composite materials for additive manufacturing, enabling the design of lighter and stronger parts. However, these materials can have a negative impact on the environment as they are often made from a plastic matrix.…

When we think about 3D printing in the medical sector, one of the most exciting applications is without a doubt bioprinting. This method of creating cellular structures from bioinks made with stem cells is intriguing to many for its vast…

In additive manufacturing processes, many different systems coexist to ensure that the machines run smoothly to produce quality parts. One of them is the supply of gases for processes where stable temperatures are required – this is the case with…

In recent years, wind power has been developing around the world in order to provide a more sustainable alternative for electricity production. In the US for example, total annual electricity generation from wind energy increased from 6 billion kilowatthours (kWh)…

Dutch startup AddCat combines metal additive manufacturing and catalytic oxidation to develop reactors capable of effectively purifying air. The startup hopes to reduce harmful industrial emissions and some of the unpleasant odors found in some industries (for example biogas plants,…

As 3D printing becomes more and more popular, large companies are trying to find ways to test the technologies. However, investing in machines can be expensive, especially when your workforce is not trained in additive manufacturing. Luckily, there are other…

Continuing advances in additive concrete manufacturing are leading to the adoption of this technology in multiple industries. Companies around the world are seeking to take advantage of the benefits offered by this innovative method of production. One such company is…

The market for 3D printers continues to grow, and as machines become more reliable and faster, extruders, hotends and nozzles are now components that can limit the capabilities of a printer. The Canadian company Dyze Design wants to offer a…

We have previously told you about GREENFILL3D, a Polish startup that develops ecological and biodegradable materials for 3D printing. Notably, it developed a wheat bran-based filament, GF3D Branfill3D. This material was created in accordance with modern concepts of zero waste…

As additive manufacturing grows and becomes more widespread, acquiring the right skills and knowledge is becoming paramount. Indeed, the use of 3D technologies implies certain rules; it is not simply a matter of pushing the button on the 3D printer…

Last year, BASF Forward AM presented the first Forward AM Innovation Award. The contest was held to find startups using 3D printing in the most interesting and exciting applications and the four finalists, Cosm Medical, Wyve, SYOS and Hilos certainly…
