Cold Spray deposits metals at supersonic speeds without melting, preserving the material's properties. Ideal for repairs and complex components in aerospace, energy, and industry.

Advanced configurators integrate geometric analysis, DFM, and AI to transform CAD models into reliable production decisions. They prevent errors in real-time and guide even non-experts toward solid technical and commercial choices through 3D visualization.

ColorMix in beta on PrusaSlicer enables multicolor printing with few filaments, alternating them per layer to simulate new shades. It works without additional hardware on multi-material printers, but is calibrated only for Prusament PLA and Prusa XL.

Logistical resilience is more critical than the availability of raw materials for supply chain security. The distance between production and consumption is the greatest risk. Strategic reserves of materials such as tungsten and production localization reduce the risk of downtime and ensure continuity for supply chains.

Colossal Biosciences has developed artificial eggs with 3D-printed shells and silicone membranes: 26 chicks have hatched. The technology aims to save endangered species and bring back the giant moa, whose eggs no living bird can incubate.

3D printer kits save 20-30% and offer total control, but require time and skills. From basic models like Dagoma (€399) to advanced ones like Prusa CORE One+ (€1,999), choosing a kit is convenient for those who want to customize and maintain their own machine, dedicating hours to assembly.

OrcaSlicer 2.4.0 Alpha offers Orca Cloud, Z Anti-Aliasing, and Machine Input Shaping, but it has technical limitations and risks of instability. For production environments, it is essential to maintain a stable version in parallel and test only copies of the profiles.

3D printed centrifugal pump in a single piece: bearings and o-rings inserted during printing, dissolvable supports for the impeller and epoxy coating for sealing. A hybrid technique that eliminates post-print assembly.

Double the strength of 3D prints without extra weight: use gyroid infill, optimized pathing with Arachne, and localized reinforcements in the G-Code. Advanced slicing techniques for stronger and lighter parts, without complex CAD modifications.

Practical guide to building a tool changer system for 3D printers with less than €30 and a weekend of work. Discover which components to buy, what to print, the critical tolerances to respect, and common errors to avoid to build a functional DIY tool changer.

Digitizing industrial components for 3D printing in a few hours is possible with real-time visual feedback scanners, automatic mesh cleaning, and parameters aligned with the printer. A method that reduces errors, iterations, and the learning curve.

Guide to creating functional 3D fidget toys: choose tested models, use print-in-place and snap-fit with tolerances of 0.2-0.3 mm, and suitable materials: PLA for rigid clickers, PETG for stress, and TPU for soft grips. Calibrate the printer for durable results.
