For decades, the production of small, precise metal components at scale has been largely defined by Metal Injection Molding (MIM), known for its speed, consistency, and cost efficiency. Replicating these characteristics with additive manufacturing has remained a challenge, particularly in…

While large-format additive manufacturing is gaining ground, can it truly deliver on its promises and transition seamlessly from rapid prototyping to production? BigRep, at the RAPID + TCT trade show, certainly seems to be demonstrating this! They are developing industrial…

The market for 3D-printed prosthetics continues to grow, as additive manufacturing offers unique opportunities in terms of customization, comfort, and cost. It allows for components tailored to each person’s anatomy—all more quickly and at unbeatable prices. This makes these prosthetics…

What started as a way to create small rewards for students has evolved into a research project pushing the boundaries of FDM 3D printing. At FILDZ Research, experimentation is at the core of the process. By rethinking design and toolpaths,…

3D design and printing make for a powerful combination in the world of furniture. Thanks to additive manufacturing, it is now possible to turn creative concepts into functional pieces using almost any material and reducing production times. In this article,…

3D modeling is now at the heart of many industries, from video games and animation to additive manufacturing. However, it is not always easy to implement and can sometimes be ill-suited to real-world conditions. This is precisely the challenge that…

At TCT Asia, 3Dnatives met with Francesco Spinoglio, General Manager of L3AD, to discuss how the company is transforming industrial 3D printing into a highly accessible digital ecosystem. Moving beyond simple instant-quote services, L3AD acts as a complete operating platform…

At the TCT Asia trade show, we had the opportunity to meet Raise3D, one of the long-standing manufacturers in the 3D printing market. While it has won over many users with its FDM solutions, the company has expanded into resin…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly finding its place in healthcare, enabling the creation of patient-specific anatomical models that give surgeons a deeper understanding of complex cases before they ever enter the operating room. By transforming MRI and other medical imaging data…

As additive manufacturing moves into production, the conversation is starting to change. Instead of asking whether a part can be printed, manufacturers are asking whether they can print it the same way every time. More often than expected, the answer…

Additive manufacturing promises lighter parts, complex geometries and faster production for aerospace. But in aviation, printing a component is the easy part. Proving it will survive in operation is what determines whether it is ever approved for service. A component…

Over the past decade, Raise3D has established itself as a key player in professional polymer 3D printing. Initially known for its FDM systems, the company has progressively expanded its portfolio to address a wider range of industrial needs, entering the…
