RAPID + TCT 2024 will soon come to an end! And one thing that was clearly on display throughout the biggest North American additive manufacturing event was the sheer number of applications that are possible with 3D printing. Whether for…

It is day two of RAPID + TCT 2024 and one thing is clear, the 400+ exhibitors have come to impress. From hardware to software, materials to post-processing and everything in between, there are a number of incredible solutions, both…

Biomimicry is defined by Cambridge as “the practice of making technological and industrial design copy natural processes.” Although it may seem counterproductive to bring technological advancements back to the natural world, this practice is driven by the fact that increasingly engineers…

According to a study conducted by the European Parliament, between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastic find their way into our oceans. This alarming statistic poses a significant threat to both our planet and the species inhabiting it. The…

The use of additive manufacturing does not always mean owning a 3D printer. Today, there are many 3D printing service providers that offer their expertise in 3D printing technologies for the creation of any part: from functional prototypes, end-use parts…

Post-processing after 3D printing is crucial for ensuring the quality and durability of the produced parts. This phase, occurring after printing, involves various processes such as cleaning, surface treatment, and removal of support structures. It is essential for all types…

Fusion energy holds promise as a potential solution to humanity’s energy demands. However, unlike nuclear fission, the development of economically viable fusion reactors faces significant challenges. One such obstacle is the intense neutron irradiation that subjects reactor materials to extreme…

The increasing integration of 3D printing across industries has brought about a pressing need: the effective management of diverse additive manufacturing workflows. In response, specialized Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software tailored for 3D printing has emerged. The primary objective is…

Despite the growth in other additive manufacturing technologies in other years, fused deposition modeling continues to dominate a large share of the market. This can be seen not only with a corresponding rise in commercial, lower-cost solutions in recent years,…

At the intersection of medical biotechnology and additive manufacturing, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati and West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, Kolkata, have forged a path toward innovative knee injury treatment. Their…

World Book Day is celebrated annually on April 23rd (except in the UK and Ireland where a similar event is observed in March). And as it is coming up fast, so we thought there was no better occasion to present…

As defined by Merriam-Webster, if a material is flame retardant, it is “made or treated so as to resist burning.” Or in simpler words, in contrast to flame resistance, where something can operate as normal within fire conditions, anything that is…
