As research into new additive manufacturing materials continues to advance, so do the suppliers of these materials. Kexcelled has established itself as a key player in the high-quality materials sector with a wide range of products including both filaments and…

Oceans are key to the planet’s health, and that is why humans must protect them. Several companies have leveraged 3D printing technology to aid ocean conservation in recent years, and their work has been nothing short of innovative. Some common…

3D printing continues to transform the medical sector, and its influence now extends to the ophthalmology sector, particularly in the manufacturing of lenses. This is the case of startup Lensy Medical, which manufactures contact lenses using 3D technologies. Its approach…

If asked which two trends have been dominating the polymer 3D printing sector, the answer would be obvious: pellets and large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM). In recent years, we have seen machines getting larger for even more applications in sectors like…

3D printing has revolutionized many industries thanks to its ability to create complex, customized geometries using a variety of materials. Among these, ceramics have emerged as a very attractive option due to their properties (high wear resistance, thermal stability, corrosion…

We have seen in numerous projects how 3D printing is being used to make shoes. This is especially the case for the consumer goods sector, where we are seeing particularly fashionable examples, but also sports shoes, which enable greater performance…

When you think of 3D printed parts, what comes first to mind is often the 3D printing process used or the chosen materials. But what if we told you there was a step even more critical than that which impacts…

While metal additive manufacturing seems to be ever-expanding, the market still faces a number of challenges, particularly when it comes to producing and repairing large-format parts. The solutions available on the market are often unreliable, and the parts produced are…

In our #Working3D interview series, we tell you about exciting professions within the AM landscape. In this latest interview, we learned how exactly AM can be used in product design. To do this, we spoke to Alex Kimber, industrial designer…

The use of 3D bioprinting in regenerative medicine continues to grow. More and more companies are developing their own additive manufacturing solutions to create organs and tissues tailored to the needs of individual patients. With this in mind, biotech company…

A study by the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA), conducted in Italy in collaboration with Dyloan Bond Factory and Stratasys, highlighted that the use of 3D printing in the fashion and luxury sectors could lead to considerable time and…

Based in Lingenau, western Austria, start-up VENOX Systems has come up with a 5-axis 3D printer capable of printing a wide range of thermoplastics, including continuous fibers. Its special feature is a head-changing system that gives access to several tools…
