According to a report published by the research firm SmarTech Publishing, ceramic 3D printing should generate $3.6 billion in revenues by 2028 – a strong annual growth for this segment of additive manufacturing! The number of ceramic 3D printers available…

The year 2019 is coming to an end, with good results for the additive manufacturing market. This market is becoming increasingly industrialized because the technology is becoming a production-ready process, less reliant on rapid prototyping activity like it was 3…

Thanks to 3D printing, the daily lives of many people with disabilities have been improved. The technology enables to create objects and services that are simple to use and adapted to disability such as personalised wheelchairs, prostheses, orthoses, etc. Above…

When you start to be interested in additive manufacturing, you will wonder about parameters such as quality, printing speed, accuracy and whether or not you will be able to print in color.  For  some applications, the integration of multiple colors…

In 1986, Chuck Hull created the first 3D printing technology, also known as stereolithography (SLA). These SLA 3D printers, which are based on photopolymerization, use a laser to harden a UV-sensitive resin, layer by layer. This technique has inspired new…

Bioprinting is a technique that allows the creation of various cellular structures from a bioink composed of stem cells. This ink is usually extruded by a machine that is similar to a Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printer. Most 3D bioprinters…

Metal 3D printing has been one of the most outstanding developments in the AM industry in recent years. In 2018, Wohlers Report reported that 80% more metal 3D printing solutions had been sold compared to the previous year – today, …

3D printing may seem difficult if you are a complete beginner with no experience, especially when it comes to using 3D software. This can cause people to give up before creating their finished STL files. To help you overcome this…

Most FDM 3D printers are now sold as Plug & Play models. However, this wasn’t always the case. The origins of these 3D printers trace back to the RepRap project, started by Adrian Bowyer in 2005. This movement still continues…

3D scanning technology analyses a real-world object to collect data on its shape and appearance (for example colour) – this data is then used to construct digital 3D models of the object. For the 3D printing industry, 3D scanners have…

The medical sector has experienced a boom in 3D printing applications within the last few months. Recently, we presented to you a selection of the most innovative 3D printed orthoses on the market. Additive manufacturing enables personalisation of each device…

Happy 4th of July! For the occasion, we present to you a few 3D models that you can easily download, change and print on your desktop 3D printer! You will find some objects useful for the day and some gift…
