Aerospace is one of the sectors where additive manufacturing has truly left its mark. This includes in telecommunications. Here, 3D printing makes it possible to develop antennas with improved designs and advanced materials. These antennas are essential for data transmission…

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) works to advance technology for United States national security. Created in 1958 in response to the Soviet Union’s 1957 launch of Sputnik, the agency positions itself as the nation’s commitment “to never again…

Many industries have recognized the potential of 3D printing for efficient and sustainable production. Additive manufacturing allows individual parts or small batches to be produced relatively inexpensively, on demand and on site, guaranteeing a ready supply of spare parts, among…

In this week’s edition of Top 5, we have a lineup of some interesting 3D printing applications. First, we have our exclusive interview with Olaf Diegel, a 3D-printed guitar designer. Then, we feature a 3D-printed water fountain for a pet,…

This week, we’re taking you on a boat tour, and not just any boat! It’s a boat entirely 3D printed by a Dubai-based company. Thanks to 3D technologies, the company is able to drastically reduce manufacturing lead times, thereby boosting…

3D printing is taking over the fashion world, revolutionizing the production of clothing, bags and, most importantly, footwear. In recent years, brands such as adidas, ASICS, and Reebok have launched their own 3D printed shoes on the market. Using additive…

3D bioprinting is a pioneering additive manufacturing process that combines biomaterials, living cells and active biomolecules to create structures that mimic the properties of natural tissue. This technology plays a crucial role in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, the…

Drag reduction is a priority for airplanes as it helps to reduce fuel consumption, increase operational range and increase the speed of the craft.  Now it seems that additive manufacturing could play a role. The Air Force Operational Energy and…

Space is the final frontier of human exploration and additive manufacturing is playing a key role in that expansion. From producing rocket components to printing parts in zero gravity, 3D printing is being chosen in aerospace for its ability to…

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…
