Interviews

Genecis Bioindustries Inc. is a young Canadian company that uses various advanced technologies to convert food waste into PHA, biodegradable plastics obtained by bacterial fermentation. These materials can be converted into 3D printing filaments, which could eventually lead to more…

Anisoprint is a Russian 3D printer manufacturer that has developed a 3D printing solution for continuous fiber composites. Based on the principle of melt deposition, its Composer machine makes it possible to reinforce any 3D printing plastic with composite fibres…

While the Chinese brand PEAK recently announced the manufacture of fully 3D printed shoes for the general public, we met with designer Annie Foo who designs high-end shoes using 3D technologies. By combining 3D scanning and additive manufacturing, it is…

The search for personalisation is a key issue in the fashion industry and 3D printing could well answer it more effectively. There are many examples, from Iris van Herpen’s collection to Julia Daviy’s skirt: 3D technologies offer a unique look…

Biogelx is a spin-out from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, engaged in the development and production of synthetic bioinks for 3D cell cultures and bioprinting applications. When we talk about this sector and its progress, we often talk about…

Soliquid is a French startup that has developed a unique 3D printing technology. Instead of depositing the material layer by layer on a tray, it extrudes it into a durable and reusable gel matrix using a 6-axis robot. The young…

In the design sector, 3D printing makes it possible to achieve high levels of geometric complexity while offering a high degree of customisation. These are two key advantages that interest many creators today, regardless of their core business. Today, we…

The startup AMBOTS was born out of the AM3 Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arkansas. The technology which they use today in their commercial activities was developed there: it is a swarm 3D printing…

After Avi Reichental and Hanan Gothait, we continue our series on additive manufacturing personalities with Gil Lavi. This industry pioneer began his career in the 2000s, working for the manufacturer Objet Geometries (now Stratasys) before embarking on his own entrepreneurial…

What if you could design objects as complex as nature? What would you produce? Since the majority of current software tools for additive manufacturing are not yet adapted to this complexity, the Munich-based company Hyperganic offers a technology that overcomes…

While 3D technologies are progressing in the medical sector, with an annual growth rate of 35% according to the SME association, some players are doing well by presenting concrete and innovative applications. This is the case with the French startup…

Composites manufacturing is a form of additive manufacturing that enables more structural efficiency for the finished part. Instead of creating a part layer by layer on a flat surface as you would with a 3D printer, this method manufactures in…
