For all those who value precision and attention to detail when it comes to 3D scanning, the use of a spray is essential. Spraying the object with a special spray before the scanning process ensures a clean and matte surface, which not only…

An expert in developing raw materials for the ceramics industry since 2008, French company Nanoe entered the additive manufacturing market in 2018 with its first line of ceramic filaments. Compatible with FDM machines, they enable the design of durable parts…

Last December, we presented xube, a compact 3D printer capable of printing parts in just a few seconds thanks to a volumetric printing process. Behind this innovation, is the young company Xolo. Based in Germany, it intends to change the…

Earlier this year, we talked about WASP (World’s Advanced Savings Project), an Italian 3D printing company who finished the printing phase of their TECLA supporting structure. TECLA, a 3D printed eco-habitat, was engineered by WASP and designed by Mario Cucinella…

International Women’s Day takes place every year on March 8th. According to the United Nations, it is a global day that celebrates the achievements of women around the world as well as the progress that has been made up to…

At times, metal additive manufacturing can run into a number of hurdles in the production process of certain parts. We already saw how one study analyzed metal fracturing in 3D printing due to narrow vapour depressions, known as “keyholes”. In addition, metal manufacturing…

The additive manufacturing sector has seen the supply of materials explode in recent years: market players are constantly innovating and looking for solutions to meet the needs and constraints of manufacturers. It is well known that the materials that are…

Last year, SmarTech Analysis released its latest report on ceramic 3D printing, estimating that the technology will be worth approximately $4.8 billion by 2030. A real opportunity is gradually emerging for the industry, with additive manufacturing offering concrete advantages in…

One of the major benefits that additive manufacturing has over traditional manufacturing is its ability to be customized for individual use, no matter how big or small the part may be. Never is this more evident than with microscale 3D…

Powder Bed Fusion describes AM processes in which metals in powder form are fused with a heat source to manufacture a part. This heat source either be in the form of either a laser or an electron beam. An example…

If you follow developments in the 3D printing construction sector, you will have noticed the accelerated growth it has undergone in recent months. With an ever-increasing demand for a new way to deliver more resilient homes at speed, the future…

Twente Additive Manufacturing (TAM) is a Dutch company that has developed a concrete 3D printing method to build the walls of our future homes. This method is particular in that it relies on the famous Fibonacci sequence to conceptualise spiral-shaped…
