Readily3D is a young Swiss startup that has developed a volumetric 3D printing method to create complex organic shapes in just a few seconds. The company used tomography to design its first 3D printer, which is capable of solidifying an…

Design freedom is one of the most important strengths of additive manufacturing. This is why various 3D printing processes are also being used more and more frequently in the creative industry. They offer unprecedented possibilities in the design process, meaning…

Given the many advantages plastics offer, such as a lower cost, versatility and water resistance, they are popular materials in additive manufacturing. They can be used as filament for FDM printing, powder for SLS printing, or resin for SLA printing.…

Founded in 2018, MELD Manufacturing has developed a metal 3D printer that’s a bit unusual: while most current solutions rely on fusion processes, thus melting metal particles together, this machine operates by using friction and pressure to make the material…

The additive manufacturing market is rapidly evolving, offering significant benefits to companies of all sizes. It regularly offers innovations, whether in terms of 3D printers, software, materials or post-processing methods. It’s not always easy to keep up with these trends…

We first met German startup One Click Metal at Formnext 2019. Its goal is clear: it wants to democratize access to metal additive manufacturing by offering a printing solution that is easier to use, a powder system that is less…

You don’t play with food, or do you? Print2Taste, founded in Freising in 2014, has an answer. With its 3D printers, the company offers users the possibility to playfully design and 3D print food. Easy handling and fast, high-quality results…

Additive manufacturing has been growing in importance in a number of different industries in the past few years. The ability to create objects that are customizable, more optimized, and often cheaper than parts created through traditional methods has made AM…

As 3D printing solutions are increasingly adopted in a variety of industries, there has been a clear need for streamlined solutions to ensure that every step of the process of creating parts is optimized. Enter additive manufacturing workflow management software…

Today, the additive manufacturing solutions available on the market are used as an additional tool in the many companies’ activities. More and more users see 3D technology as a production process that complements the techniques of their factories and workshops,…

A few months ago we first unveiled the concept of the Mobile Smart Factory, an intelligent production module that integrates additive manufacturing technologies as well as post-processing solutions for on-site part development. This project, which stems from a division of…

Thinking Huts is an association that seeks to promote access to education through 3D technologies. By 3D printing schools, it hopes to rapidly multiply the number of available infrastructures, as well as seeking to create jobs locally while promoting more…
