For quite some time now, additive manufacturing has been advancing far beyond FDM 3D printing. This relatively new technology can be found in numerous industrial applications today. Such is the case in the construction industry, where demands on components are…

Paradoxal Surfboards is a project led by a young Frenchman who wants to make surfing more respectful of our environment. Jérémy Lucas has imagined 3D printed surfboards designed with greener materials, not those that come the oil industry. Namely, from…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing, focused on how additive manufacturing can be applied in medicine, movie sets, and more. First, we take a look at the 3D printed robotic arm that is capable of…

For several years now, Airbnb has been one of the preferred choices for tourists when they go on vacation. The platform, which allows individuals to rent out their apartment or house, has been so successful that it is now considered…

Eva de Goede, three-time Olympic field field hockey champion with the Netherlands, broke her wrist shortly before the 2021 European Championship. Not wanting to leave one of its best players on the bench, the Dutch team tried to find solutions…

In Germany, the YOU MAWO brand (short for ‘Your Magic World‘) uses 3D technologies to develop glasses perfectly personalized for each wearer. Using EOS’ selective laser sintering process, and DyeMansion’s post-processing solutions,  the company can print, fit, and design frames…

Founded in 2014, Aconity3D GmbH is one of the most innovative German companies in additive manufacturing with five different 3D printers. Aconity3D specializes in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), in which metal particles are fused layer by layer by a…

In the aerospace industry, additive manufacturing is increasingly prevalent. Many companies are now using metal 3D printing to create rocket components, as well as rocket engines. Companies, such as Relativity, for instance, have notably developed additive manufacturing centers entirely dedicated…

Additive manufacturing continues to evolve, though rather than getting bigger, this time it’s getting smaller, microscopic even. Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), based as the name suggests in Massachusetts in the United States, is known for their high precision micro 3D…

You are a professional or a maker and you have decided that you are interested in buying a 3D printer. You’ve seen how the technology can help you make custom parts, lower cost prototypes or design components faster, so it’s…

A patent protects the author of an invention from being copied, thereby allowing the inventor to market their product and profit without fear of competition. In emerging technologies such as additive manufacturing, scores of patents are filed each year to…

Though the use of metal in additive manufacturing (AM) is traditionally associated with lasers (such as in laser powder bed fusion), new metal printing solutions are continuously being developed. These new technologies can produce parts that are 30-50% lighter and…
