ACCIONA, founded back in 1931, is a Spanish conglomerate group dedicated to the development and management of infrastructure and renewable energy. The sectors with which ACCIONA works include energy and infrastructure, which is why, not long ago, they began to integrate…

3D printing technologies provide great benefits for the medical sector, in particular for personalized medicine. We have already seen this with bioprinting tissue, made from patients’ own stem cells. This innovative use of additive manufacturing has enabled several bioprinting projects…

Effective communication and collaboration with clients is at the core of leading successful projects. However, it can be difficult to scale up activity in additive manufacturing when the tools are dispersed across many different platforms. This is the challenge MakerOS…

Whilst a 3D printer has movement for 3 axis, x, y and z, it pretty much never uses them at the same time. Usually only x and y movements of the 3D printer nozzle are used to form the geometry…

CAD MicroSolutions is dedicated to helping mechanical and electronic customers ensure they are realizing the greatest value from their technology investment. The company offers design automation software, training, and consulting to help clients innovate, disrupt, design, and succeed. Hargurdeep Singh…

Large format 3D printing has found use in a wide range of applications. From making true to scale car panels, aerospace prototypes or billboards, many companies are interested in this type of 3D printing. Naturally, one of the key components…

The construction sector has undergone a real revolution following the introduction of robotic 3D printers, capable of manufacturing concrete buildings in a matter of hours. Many believe that concrete 3D printers can create an entire building, however they only create…

Adopting 3D printing in an industrial setting, specifically for mass production, is growing considerably. Nevertheless, some companies are still hesitant to invest in 3D printing technologies, as they can be unsure about the steps to adopt it successfully in their…

Many industrial groups have relied on additive manufacturing to gain agility, offer more innovative products or lighten production processes that are sometimes too cumbersome. For consumer goods, it brings above all greater customization, a significant advantage since it is now…

RADIAN is a German jewellery brand that quickly turned to additive manufacturing to design original and personalized rings, bracelets and necklaces. The technology offers more flexibility in its design, prototyping and final production processes, sometimes even allowing to make jewellery…

3DQue Systems, based in Canada, has developed a system that offers 24/7 production. The startup identified the growing need for automation in the additive manufacturing market, which is why it developed the QPoD and QSuite solutions to automate thermoplastics 3D printing…

The startup FossiLabs, based in the U.S., develops FDM 3D printers capable of producing medical implants made from PEEK. These high-performance implants resemble bone-like structures and can promote bone growth in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Combining the properties of PEEK…
