Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) is a U.S. company specializing in nuclear energy. Recently, it signed a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to use its novel additive manufacturing process to design certain components for nuclear reactors. It will…

One of the many considerations in 3D printing is what materials should be used for the printing process. Though still limited, 3D printing materials have expanded in recent years. Going from traditional materials like plastics and polymers, like PEEK and…

The 3D printing process begins with STL files. As such, this is where users must initially focus their attention. Currently, these present a few limitations that prevent designers from transferring their ideas to the digital realm. Many people choose to…

Over the last few decades construction using 3D printing has taken the world by storm. Additive manufacturing has enabled construction companies to build at unprecedented speeds, while minimising waste and labour. Furthermore, with 3D printing, the cost of construction is…

Since its arrival on the additive manufacturing market in 2018, Nanoe has been working to democratize the use of ceramic and metal FFF 3D printing with an accessible and easy-to-implement process. While its filaments have made their way into laboratories…

The year 2021 has come to an end and, like every Sunday, 3Dnatives is taking a look at some of the best videos, though this time it’s from the past 12 months rather than the week. Between building houses, bridges,…

In the aerospace industry, additive manufacturing is increasing becoming a major technology. Because of its benefits, such as design freedom and reduced building time and costs, 3D printing has attracted many players in the sector. From Fleet Space, which is…

2022 has already begun, and it’s the perfect time to look back at the most significant innovations from the past 12 months. As you know, 3Dnatives highlights startups from around the globe that have developed innovative solutions for the additive…

In some good news from the holidays, a family has officially moved into Habitat for Humanity’s first completed 3D printed home. Completed only a few short weeks ago, the home was built in a partnership between Alquist, a 3D printing…

The end of the year (or the beginning!) is often the occasion for 3Dnatives to look back on the best moments of 2021 and to highlight some of the initiatives that have impacted the 3D printing market. This time, we…

From building projects on the moon to 3D printed rocket parts, lately there have been many projects mixing additive manufacturing and space. And with good reason. For space companies, the technology is opening up a whole new world of possibilities.…

Over the past few years, we have seen an increased “democratization” of 3D printing. That is to say, increasing numbers of manufacturers have been coming on the market with cheaper machines, making the technology more accessible to more people worldwide.…
