In Belgium, a two-storey house has just been erected thanks to additive manufacturing: using the concrete 3D printer BOD2, developed by COBOD, the Kamp C company was able to construct a 90 square meter structure in only three weeks, and…

Widely used in different industries, latex is the most flexible material known so far. It has a natural origin and is composed of long polymer chains rolled into water-dispersed nanoparticles. Although, in general, latex is very well known, little has…

Kentucky Fried Chicken, more commonly known as KFC, is one of the leading fast-food chains in the world with more than 24,000 restaurants in 145 countries across the globe. The brand is mostly known for its “special recipe” fried chicken,…

The use of concrete in 3D printing is revolutionizing the construction industry. From houses to pedestrian bridges, additive manufacturing provides a great deal of design freedom that goes beyond the limits of the imaginable. In fact, it may well be…

Aerospace is one of the first sectors to have used additive manufacturing, in particular metal 3D printing, whether to produce prototypes, spare parts or end-use parts. It includes the production of turbines, engine parts, aircraft seats, and more. Additive manufacturing…

There is no shortage of machines on the 3D printing market! Between DIY 3D printers, Plug & Play, professional or even 3D pens, there are many different models that will meet everyone’s needs and skills. Each one is more or…

Always trying to be on the edge of innovation, Porsche has embraced the additive manufacturing technologies a while ago. In 2018 the German manufacturer was already 3D printing spare parts for its luxury cars, and earlier this year it started…

Today’s additive manufacturing sector is characterized by a wide variety of materials, from plastics and metals to ceramics and concrete. If we look at the family of polymers, the diversity is great, with many thermoplastics that are more or less…

Arevo and Superstrata have just unveiled new 3D printed unibody bicycles, unique in both the design and properties. Last year, Arevo, a California-based additive manufacturing startup, built the first 3D printed carbon fiber unibody bike frame. The e-bikes were called…

On 3Dnatives, we regularly talk about the giants of additive manufacturing, from machine manufacturers to 3D printing services or material suppliers. However, there are a growing number of startups that see this technology as the future of their industry. AM…

PrintSyst.ai is a startup that has focused over the last couple of years on developing artificial intelligence to solve the significant cost of the pre-printing processes in additive manufacturing. Today, analyzing parts before 3D printing is a crucial step that…

Generative design is an iterative design process that generates multiple design outputs that meet predefined constraints. This process is used in various fields such as art, architecture, and product design to produce outputs from sounds, images to CAD models. One…
