The company works particularly close with the AM manufacturer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/carbon-260-million-030720195\/\">Carbon<\/a>, the inventor of\u00a0Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology. They have launched a series of videos called #AskAnAdditiveExpert in order to provide as many practical tips as possible to users of its machines. In this video, Carbon discusses with Ellen Lee, Technical Leader of Additive MFG at Ford Motor Co. She explains how and when to use 3D printing for automotive part development. How do engineers at Ford determine when to use AM or a conventional process? How to decide on the design of the parts and how to choose the right 3D printing technology? Learn the answers in the video below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JEB5afgAr1A\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 3: Desktop Metal, clients testify<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In today&#8217;s market, there are many additive manufacturing technologies, compatible with many materials. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-metals110420174\/\">Metals<\/a> are part of it and in recent years it is a process that has been growing rapidly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/desktop-metal-goes-public-270820204\/\">Desktop Metal<\/a>, recently listed on the stock exchange, is one of the manufacturers working to offer metal 3D printing technologies. It has developed two metal AM solutions to provide companies with a reliable and sustainable way to design even the most complex parts. In this video, you can watch the testimonials of different users who have worked with Desktop Metal&#8217;s machines, in different \u00a0sectors around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KoKA6n-uGl4\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top 4: Adidas FUTURECRAFT STRUNG shoes<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adidas recently unveiled its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/the-futurecraft-strung-from-adidas-combines-am-and-textile-innovation-091020204\/\">FUTURECRAFT STRUNG<\/a> shoes, which combine 3D printing and unprecedented textile innovation. In fact, the upper part of the shoe is manufactured with a robot arm, where each thread has been placed according to the input to create a lightweight, seamless shoe that allows natural foot movement.\u00a0The sole is 3D printed on a Carbon machine, with the famous lattice structure. It will be a while before the unique sneakers can be purchased, as Adidas plans to market it in late 2021 or even early 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ng8i_eOnuGc\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Top 5: Swiftool Precision Engineering (SPE) chooses AM<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Swiftool Precision Engineering Ltd is part of the SPE Group and is a supplier of safety critical parts to the nuclear, petrochemical, and more recently aerospace markets.
