When it comes to innovative technologies, artificial intelligence and 3D printing are always at the top of the list. Both of these so-called “disruptive” technologies have the potential to completely reinvent the way we manufacture in numerous industries. But what…

Once again, Valentine’s Day has come! But what if you don’t yet have a gift? Don’t panic or run to the supermarket – it’s not too late to give your partner an amazing Valentine gift. If you own a 3D…

Obtaining a 3D file for printing can be done in many ways: free or paid download from a dedicated platform, modeling from an adapted CAD software or 3D scanning via a 3D scanner. Today there are a multitude of solutions…

Support removal can be an annoying part of post-processing in 3D printing. However, it does not have to be. If you have a dual-extruder 3D FDM 3D printer, or any other process that allows multi-material printing, you can take advantage…

Additive manufacturing is a technology that offers a multitude of advantages in footwear production, the most important being the possibility of customizing the final product. Due to this, the global 3D printed footwear market will reach a value of $1.97…

At the end of 2021, the research firm IDTechEx published a report that estimated that the ceramic additive manufacturing market would be worth $400 million by 2032, seven times more than the forecast for 2022. This is proof that this…

3D scanning is often used in the additive manufacturing (AM) sector to design a 3D model more easily than via modeling software. It captures data that is then transformed into a 3D model that can then be 3D printed. 3D…

CAD, or computer-aided design, is the process of creating, modifying and optimizing designs using specialized software. It is widely used in a number of industries, including architecture, engineering, manufacturing (including additive manufacturing) and entertainment. CAD software can handle both 2D…

As we approach the end of the year, it’s time for us to take a look back at the market, and at the personalities who have shaped the 3D printing sector in 2023. Whether they work in major corporations, startups…

Additive manufacturing is constantly evolving in all fields. Indeed, just this year, we have seen exciting developments in metal 3D printing, bioprinting and multi-material printing, as well as interesting concepts for greater sustainability. But that’s not all! As you may…

Though the first thing that comes to mind for many when you mention ceramics is pottery or porcelain, technical ceramics are actually some of the strongest and toughest materials on Earth. Broken into two categories, oxides and non-oxides, the main…

3D technologies are ever increasingly being used in the consumer goods sector. In particular, we have seen a growing role for additive manufacturing in the sports industry over recent years. Not only that but 3D printing in sports is not…
