In the 3D printing sector, manufacturers are increasingly looking for composite materials because they offer more interesting mechanical properties, particularly in terms of resistance. Here, the material in question, includes a “matrix” (most often a thermoplastic) that is reinforced with…

TCT Asia 2025 has wrapped up, but there’s still plenty to talk about! As one of the biggest additive manufacturing events in Asia, this year’s edition showcased some of the industry’s most innovative 3D printing applications. Our team at 3Dnatives…

Topology optimization is a process that aims to achieve reduce a part to its most minimal possible geometry. To do this, an initial concept of a part is optimized using computer-based calculations so that less material is required for its…

As defined by UNESCO, cultural heritage encompasses artifacts, monuments, sites and museums that hold significant value, whether symbolic, artistic, aesthetic or social. These can be thought of as the objects and areas that help define who we are as a…

3D pens are often seen as a gadget or a toy reserved for children who want to get into 3D printing. However, they are becoming more popular and sophisticated, with more features and compatible materials. They make it possible to…

When it comes to choice of a 3D printer, several criteria must be taken into account: which applications it will be used for, the desired printing speed, the final quality of the parts, the quantity to be produced, among others.…

Bioprinting, which involves 3D printing living tissue models, holds incredible promise for medicine and biology. The technology helps researchers develop personalized medicine, engineer tissues and test drugs and cosmetics. Another application, while far-off, would be 3D printing functional human organs—a…

Robotic arms—motorized, programmable and designed for precision—have long been a staple of industrial automation. With joints and articulations mimicking a human arm, they enhance efficiency in manufacturing by streamlining repetitive tasks. Sound familiar? These advantages parallel those of additive manufacturing.…

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…

The success of a 3D print depends largely on the machines and materials you use, but that’s not all. The accessories and tools you have also play a key role in the 3D printing process. There are specific options that…

While additive manufacturing has proven its worth in the production of spare parts, tooling and finished parts for the automotive sector, it is also very popular for vehicle interiors. The car’s interior is an increasingly important space for the driver:…

Nowadays, if you want to get started with the critical step of 3D modeling, there is no longer a need to invest significant money in software! Free solutions exist on the market to get started with modeling your objects or…
