3D modeling is now at the heart of many industries, from video games and animation to additive manufacturing. However, it is not always easy to implement and can sometimes be ill-suited to real-world conditions. This is precisely the challenge that…

It’s been a while since PostProcess Technologies released its renowned study on post-processing trends. But now, the 5th edition is finally available, following the last release in 2022. The report highlights a growing focus on sustainability, safety, and health. As…

There is a widespread belief that we are on the verge of 3D printing functional organs, but the reality in the lab is far more complex. Although that goal remains distant, a team of researchers at ETH Zurich has reached…

The dental industry is one of the sectors that makes the most use of additive manufacturing to provide customized devices tailored to each patient. Using 3D scans or medical imaging data, dental professionals can create precise 3D models and print…

At TCT Asia, 3Dnatives met with Francesco Spinoglio, General Manager of L3AD, to discuss how the company is transforming industrial 3D printing into a highly accessible digital ecosystem. Moving beyond simple instant-quote services, L3AD acts as a complete operating platform…

At the TCT Asia trade show, we had the opportunity to meet Raise3D, one of the long-standing manufacturers in the 3D printing market. While it has won over many users with its FDM solutions, the company has expanded into resin…

Chronic wounds are defined by being unable to fully heal naturally, persisting at an inflammatory stage due to imbalances in the wound microenvironment. These wounds, including diabetic ulcers and pressure sores, can linger for months or even years. Wound dressings…

As the U.S. military grapples with aging supply chains and prolonged lead times for critical aircraft, the Department of War is turning to advanced additive manufacturing to bridge the gap. On March 10, Nikon AM Synergy Inc. announced it had…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly finding its place in healthcare, enabling the creation of patient-specific anatomical models that give surgeons a deeper understanding of complex cases before they ever enter the operating room. By transforming MRI and other medical imaging data…

What if your 3D printed objects could change their appearance based entirely on the angle from which they are viewed? This fascinating optical illusion is known as the lenticular effect. Often compared to a holographic effect, the lenticular effect allows…

At Texas A&M University, researchers have created a superfoam using additive manufacturing. The composite is capable of absorbing up to 10 times more energy than conventional foam. This 3D-printed material could have a significant impact on the defense sector and…

The largest additive manufacturing event in North America is back! Taking place in Boston, Massachusetts for the first time, the Conference Program kicks off RAPID + TCT 2026, starting April 13 and the exhibition runs April 14–16. Bringing together the…
