As additive manufacturing continues to industrialize, post-processing is becoming ever more crucial. Through this critical stage, users can improve parts, making them stronger and denser or even giving them specific properties, ensuring they can be used for important end-use applications.…

Additive manufacturing is becoming an increasingly popular production method in the automotive and transportation sectors. Many automotive manufacturers have already firmly anchored 3D technologies in their corporate structure, and the railway industry is also increasingly relying on parts created using…

With RAPID + TCT 2025 quickly coming up, we have once again sat down with one of the exciting exhibitors to tell attendees what exactly they can expect at the show. This time, we touched based with KraussMaffei. Although known…

Most of the heat control systems in use today are heavy, bulky and require many connecting cables. The EU project AHEAD (Advanced Heat Exchange Devices) aims to optimize these systems, and now a promising result has been presented: a 3D-printed…

Conformal electronics are stretchable, flexible electronic devices often used for applications like smart skins and robotics. While 3D printing conformal electronics is possible, the process can come with challenges. Often, conformal electronics have significant mechanical and thermal vulnerabilities. Those made…

3D printing is transforming drug manufacturing, offering customized solutions that improve treatments and the patient experience. Traditionally, bespoke medicines have been prepared using magistral preparations, a manual, laborious and error-prone process. However, 3D printing is emerging as a promising technology…

The importance of artificial intelligence to optimize processes in Industry 5.0 is becoming increasingly evident. Even in the field of additive manufacturing (AM), we have seen a number of applications for AI, especially in software enhancement. From design to manufacturing,…

Suffice to say, it has not been the smoothest sailing for the 3D printing market in the past year or so. This has particularly been the case for some of the largest companies in the sector, who have faced layoffs…

What do you do if you want to enter into additive manufacturing without prior experience or an industrial 3D printer? Or experiment to see if 3D printing is the best fit for an application? Why, you go to an AM…

Some of construction 3D printing’s greatest benefits include that the technology can often build structures faster and cheaper than traditional building methods. That said, it is logical to adopt the technology for social housing. In Grange Close, Ireland, the company…

In this week’s Top 5, we first feature a 3D Interview with artha France, a French startup that designed a device for the blind and visually impaired. Second, we have a video from Polymaker on its new material, a co-polymer…

When you purchase resin for vat photopolymerization, do you ever think about where that resin came from? Even if there’s a brand name on the label that coincides with the printer you are using, there is a chance that the…
