The US manufacturer Markforged announced last week that it would be possible to 3D print pure copper parts on its Metal X machine - a metal additive manufacturing solution that is relatively more accessible than competing […]
Polycarbonate, better known by its acronym PC, is a material renowned in the 3D printing market for its impact resistance and transparency. It is a lightweight yet strong thermoplastic, ideal for a wide range of professional […]
Additive Composite and Add North are two Swedish companies that have worked together to develop a composite filament based on boron carbide, one of the hardest materials on the market after diamond and cubic boron nitride. […]
You might have noticed that more and more companies are 3D printing composites to make parts. Even though this term has been increasingly thrown around, you might still be wondering what exactly is a composite material […]
In Denmark, a professor at the University of Aarhus, Mogens Hinge, is conducting a research project to recycle plastic waste into a standardised 3D printing filament for the entire market. Called "Development of filament for 3D […]
Recently, CELLINK announced an exciting partnership with Made In Space to develop advanced bioprinting technology for space. The space company develops state-of-the-art space manufacturing technology to support exploration, national security, and sustainable space settlement. The two […]
The American manufacturer MakerBot made its comeback last year by presenting a new 3D printer called METHOD, it is a desktop machine, yet a professional solution. During Formnext 2019, the company launched an experimental extruder designed […]
3D Potter, based in Florida, manufactures dedicated ceramic 3D printers that can use real clay. Their 3D printers use a cardinal axis system, rather than a Delta printer configuration, which allows precise control with minimal effort […]
Today, additive manufacturing works with multiple different materials, yet glass is one of those materials that remains difficult to work with. Only a few groups of researchers around the world have attempted to produce glass objects […]
Renishaw, an engineering company based in the UK, is collaborating with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to qualify new additive manufacturing (AM) materials for production applications. Sandvik has been in the news this year, notably when it unveiled […]
You might be aware that most commercial extrusion-based 3D printers are only able to build objects from a single material at a time. And when they do allow for multiple materials and colors to be used, […]
Until a few years ago, FFF technology (Fused Filament Fabrication) had been associated with the maker community, and less so with the industrial sector. Following the evolution of FFF machines, and their materials, the technology began […]
The Italian manufacturer Roboze and the chemical company SABIC have unveiled the fruit of their recent collaboration: a new high-temperature 3D printing material, EXTEM™AMHH811F filament. Compatible with Roboze's ARGO 500 3D printers, designed for production, this […]
