Surgical planning has come a long way in recent years, thanks in particular to new technologies used in the medical sector. Practitioners can now rely on digital tools to visualize pathologies in 3D, all in a personalized way to improve…

Have you heard of digital twins? The idea was first developed in the 1960s as a way to create a living model of the Apollo mission in order to help evaluate its failure through a physical model of the vehicle…

The automotive industry is steadily moving towards greater sustainability and 3D printing is playing a crucial role in this transition. This is because additive manufacturing enables companies to produce more environmentally friendly, lighter and more efficient components. This in turn…

It may be August, but it does not seem that the 3D printing market is resting. Only four short months since Markforged was ordered to pay $17M to Continuous Composites in a final ending to a patent infringement lawsuit that…

Elon Musk has not only caused a stir in the last week with inflammatory statements on social issues as well as his growing support for Donald Trump’s re-election, but also with a new announcement about the production of the Raptor…

Now the week has ended, it is time to once again take a look at the best 3D printing videos that came out. The first of our top videos shows how researchers in China are using metal 3D printing to…

One of the sectors where we see the increasing use of 3D printing is the railroad industry. This is due to the fact that it faces the constant challenge of needing to supply parts with advanced properties in a short…

The use of 3D printing in motor racing has become increasingly common. The ability to rapidly produce, customize and select the most appropriate materials for each application has led many automakers to adopt this technology. In Formula 1, for example,…

Building on the moon and distant planets may sound like a distant dream (although we have seen a few projects already), but research is already well underway. As part of the five-year AM-IMATE project, researchers at Delft University of Technology…

You have almost certainly already heard about plastic and metal 3D printing. But did you know that sand is also a potential 3D printing material? Indeed, it can be a cost-effective solution for a wide range of sectors, and is…

Whether as a result of a heart attack, a disease like diabetes, smoking, drugs or an accident, damage to the heart is slow to heal by itself and often requires surgical intervention to prolong lifespan. But what if it was…

Based in Lingenau, western Austria, start-up VENOX Systems has come up with a 5-axis 3D printer capable of printing a wide range of thermoplastics, including continuous fibers. Its special feature is a head-changing system that gives access to several tools…
