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…

The additive manufacturing industry is experiencing a transformation in its applications, with a move from prototyping to end-use part production. This is the reason why post-processing technologies are becoming so key. Founded in 2017, the startup AMT provides patented post-processing…

The young German startup, iFactory3D is a manufacturer of FDM desktop 3D printers that has developed a rather special machine that integrates a conveyor belt as the 3D printing plate. Called iFactory One, this solution allows to create parts of…

Today, 3D printing technologies are changing the way companies manufacture some parts. In fact, by integrating additive manufacturing into a company, it is possible to rethink the production process of various parts – from prototypes to end-use parts – in…

Expert in 2D printing for more than 30 years, the Greek Lino Group recently opened an entity fully dedicated to additive manufacturing. Named Lino3D, this unit aims to support manufacturers in their manufacturing process, to help them choose the right…

Less often discussed, additive manufacturing also has its place in the electronics sector, where it enables the design of smaller, finer and more precise components than conventional production methods. Known as micro 3D printing, this technique can improve the performance,…

By now we know that additive manufacturing provides a multitude of advantages to the construction industry. More and more actors in the industry are interested in integrating this technology into their activities. We have already seen several projects of 3D…

The construction sector has been exploring the potential of additive manufacturing for the past several years. Today,  the idea of a 3D printed house does not shock people anymore, as we have seen more than one 3D printed building by…

It is increasingly often that we hear news about how 3D printing technologies are transforming the food industry. Today we have numerous companies 3D printing meat, relatively recently emerged a project of 3D printed fish… But we rarely talk about…
