Currently, more and more companies are considering taking advantage of the benefits offered by pellet 3D printing. As some of the greatest challenges facing companies are the material limitations associated with filament production, a major interest in using pellets instead has been observed. Pellets (raw material for filament production) are …

Binder jetting is an AM process that uses industrial printhead to selectively deposit a liquid binding agent onto a thin layer of powder particles — either metal, sand, ceramics or composites — to build high-value and one-of-a-kind parts and tooling. It is a rising star in AM, thanks to its speed and …

Though the use of metal in additive manufacturing (AM) is traditionally associated with lasers (such as in laser powder bed fusion), new metal printing solutions are continuously being developed. These new technologies can produce parts that are 30-50% lighter and can be mass customized to local markets, all while allowing …

FDM, or Fused Deposition Modeling, printing is one of the most popular 3D printing processes. For this method, thermoplastics are by far the most used materials, in particular PLA, PETG, and ABS as they are easy to print with, especially for beginners. However, these are not the only materials that …

After the success of previous ADDITIV events, including ADDITIV medical France and ADDITIV digital World, the 3Dnatives team is organizing a new 100% virtual event, this time dedicated to additive manufacturing in Aerospace, a growing field due to the immense benefits that AM brings to the Aerospace sector. ADDITIV Aerospace is …

Out of the many necessary considerations when starting a 3D printing project, material and the necessary specifications for the printer are two of the most important, even more so when creating something that needs to be engineering-grade. Our next webinar “How to you choose your AM engineering grade material and 3…

Additive manufacturing is often seen as an environmentally friendlier production method to conventional manufacturing because of its potential for local production and because it can allow for zero-waste manufacturing. It is also seen as one of the manufacturing technologies enabling the highest degree of customization, an essential tool in industries …

Having organised 3 virtual events already, we believe, if done right, these hold tremendous potential for the future, even beyond the global health crisis. This is why we are excited to announce our 1-day virtual event on October 22 from 8AM to 6PM EDT (2PM to 12AM UTC+2), called ADDITIV digital World! …

Over the years, materials compatible with 3D printing technologies have been expanding to enable more applications, especially in industrial sectors that require technical-grade materials. In fact, many studies report that material choice is one of the key drivers of the adoption of additive manufacturing. Historically, the thermoplastic polymer ABS has …
