Last week, we explored how the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing, and the momentum is not slowing down. On June 4th, the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) announced a $6.3 million grant from…

3D printing continues to gain ground in the world of motor racing. In recent years, its use has become widespread, particularly in Formula 1 and other motorsport disciplines, where it enables parts to be produced more quickly, optimizing performance and…

Aerospace is among the industries with the most stringent safety and quality standards. Aircraft and rocket components are subject to the strictest regulations and must undergo continuous inspections—both before deployment and during operation. However, precision alone is not enough in…

Yesterday, we covered the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s investment of over $10 million to predict the lifespan of 3D printed parts, and today, we have another defense headline: Velo3D is partnering with the U.S. Navy. Velo3D is a…

Last week, Texas A&M University announced that a team of its faculty members will receive a $1.6 million grant to develop a system for accelerating the process that determines the quality and lifespan of 3D printed components used by the…

General Motors (GM) has been using additive manufacturing for decades to accelerate vehicle development by creating functional prototypes. However, the company has taken it a step further by incorporating 3D printing into automobile production, particularly in low-volume models such as…

3D printing has revolutionized numerous industries in recent years – from architecture and product design to medical technology. One particularly exciting development is the combination of this technology with the field of “greenery”, i.e. the integration of plants into modern…

UltiMaker S8 test: a logical update, a natural progression. Two years after testing the S7, it’s the UltiMaker S8’s turn to go through our test. If you haven’t yet read our review of the S7, we invite you to take…

According to a study by DataIntelo published two years ago, the market for pellet 3D printers is expected to exceed $3.5 billion by 2032, with a strong annual growth rate of 12.5% over the period. Manufacturers are becoming increasingly aware…

Recent developments in additive manufacturing with high-performance polymers, particularly when it comes to improved dimensional accuracy and surface quality, are enabling the adoption of this technology for the production of more durable tools. Indeed, AM is now making it possible…

It’s been just over a week since ADDITIV Metals World, and the energy from the event is still fresh in our minds. The event was a great reminder of how quickly the additive manufacturing landscape evolves, especially in the field…

Dentistry is a field where precision, aesthetics and functionality must coexist in perfect harmony. This technically demanding sector has benefited greatly from advances in 3D printing. Among the young companies transforming dental production methods, FIDENTIS® stands out. A spin-off from…
