When it comes to manufacturing, many tools are required: design software, quality monitoring software, machines, scanning applications, etc. However, these solutions are often disconnected, presenting a challenge for users. The workflow elements do not communicate with each other, which creates…

Top 5 Videos is back! This month, we’re starting with a 3DExplained on how (and why) you could automate your 3D print farms. Then, we shift our focus to design, with our second video spotlighting 3D printed outdoor furniture, and…

Yet again, additive manufacturing is poised to help rockets take flight. In this week’s 3DExpress, read about aerospace company INNOSPACE launching its new advanced manufacturing division, footwear company Koobz’s $7.2 million investment round, a partnership between ASTM International and Nikon…

Once again, artificial intelligence is proving its worth in the 3D printing sector. A team has used AI to develop a 3D model generator capable of synthesizing multiple 3D meshes of different geometries from a single RGB image. Called PartCrafter,…

With summer now in full swing, we’ve got our minds on upcoming holidays. Lemki Robotix, a German-Ukrainian start-up and innovator in the field of large-format 3D printing with composite materials, has created a 3D printed camper that may be just…

Glass is a material that we encounter every day, and it can be found in many forms. It also has interesting characteristics for numerous applications: transparency, chemical inertness, electrical insulation, heat resistance and recyclability. However, despite its advantages, it is…

With 3D printing expanding and advancing daily, new jobs are constantly emerging. Have you ever thought about working in additive manufacturing? Or are you already an expert and are searching for a new challenge? Either way, we have collected five…

From smartphones to autonomous driving, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence: the demand for ever more powerful microchips is booming. At the same time, raw material shortages, trade conflicts and the tense global political situation are putting the semiconductor industry under enormous…

For critical military applications, metal additive manufacturing has been questioned for concerns over porosity, mechanical reliability and reproducability. However, those issues have proved to be addressable, and defense organizations from around the world have gone on to adopt the technology.…

Do you want to 3D print your parts, but can’t decide between polymers or metals? When it comes to 3D printing, there’s one material that combines the best of both worlds: alumide. This is an interesting option that involves combining…

In recent years, 3D concrete printing has increasingly established itself as a legitimate technology in the construction industry. It can be used to produce buildings faster and more cost-effectively, so experts see great potential in 3D concrete printing to address…

The shortage of organs available for transplantation remains a major issue: demand far exceeds supply. In the United States, there are more than 100,000 people on organ transplant lists, and some might wait years to receive one, if they survive…
