72 hours, not 10 weeks: the plan to integrate CNC and 3D

72 hours, not 10 weeks: the plan to integrate CNC and 3D

Produzione ibrida 3D-CNC: da 10 settimane a 72 ore, eliminando passaggi e sprechi fino al 97%. Ideale per geometrie complesse e finiture di precisione in un unico setup, non per pezzi semplici. Best practice per integrarla nei processi industriali.

Custom shoes in 24h? Here's how it's done

Custom shoes in 24h? Here's how it's done

Scansione 3D e stampa additiva rivoluzionano le calzature: da taglie standard a scarpe su misura prodotte su richiesta. Il flusso scan-to-print riduce resi e inventario, adattando ogni paio alla morfologia esatta del cliente. Modelli produttivi scalabili per il settore.

The network that makes the smart factory work?

The network that makes the smart factory work?

La manifattura additiva è strategica solo se integrata in una rete industriale intelligente. IIoT, AI e sicurezza trasformano la stampa 3D da processo isolato a nodo produttivo connesso, abilitando flessibilità, velocità e resilienza operativa.

How are Chinese clusters revolutionizing production?

How are Chinese clusters revolutionizing production?

I cluster industriali cinesi rivoluzionano la produzione grazie alla condivisione aperta di informazioni tecniche. Specializzazione rapida, tempi brevi e scalabilità rendono il vantaggio competitivo legato alla velocità di esecuzione, non alla segretezza. Una lezione di flessibilità per l’Occidente.

Real-time simulation for large-scale LPBF?

Real-time simulation for large-scale LPBF?

La simulazione in tempo reale per la stampa 3D metallica su larga scala è diventata essenziale per ridurre costi e tempi. Piattaforme come PanX integrano ottimizzazione e previsione nel flusso produttivo, evitando errori costosi e accelerando la qualifica dei componenti industriali complessi.

Nozzles that challenge hydrogen?

Nozzles that challenge hydrogen?

Hydrogen-resistant gas turbine nozzles: two patents exploit 3D printing for monolithic components without joints and hybrid bimetallic ones, with controlled surface finishes. More durable solutions for aviation and energy, with industrial adoption in 2-5 years.

Why do consumers choose 3D printing now?

Why do consumers choose 3D printing now?

3D printing has moved from gadgets to functional goods: advanced materials guarantee strength and durability. On-demand and local production reduces costs, times and environmental impact, offering customized and sustainable objects for everyday use.

How does Nourished print custom supplements?

How does Nourished print custom supplements?

Nourished produces 500,000 custom 3D gummies per day. Raised £14 million to expand in the USA, India, and the Middle East. Proprietary seven-layer technology and algorithms generate unique formulations from an online questionnaire. Scalable model between e-commerce and pharmacies.

Design for production: the mistake that costs dearly?

Design for production: the mistake that costs dearly?

Designing while ignoring production is costly: delays, defects, and redesigns. Aligning design and manufacturing from the start, with early process selection and DFM, reduces costs and time-to-market. Integrated services eliminate the gap between design and realization.

42,5M$ and an industrial breakthrough: who benefits?

42,5M$ and an industrial breakthrough: who benefits?

Stratasys acquires Markforged for $42.5 million from Nano Dimension, strengthening industrial 3D printing for composites and software solutions. Metal Binder Jetting technology is excluded and retained by Nano Dimension. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026.

Why did Amnovis bring its 3D printing to Indiana?

Why did Amnovis bring its 3D printing to Indiana?

Amnovis acquires Westconn and opens a production unit in Indiana mirroring its Belgian facility for 3D printing of orthopedic devices. By replicating the end-to-end process (design, additive manufacturing, certification) near Warsaw, the capital of US orthopedics, it ensures homogeneous quality and FDA compliance for the American market.

Can you really reuse the metal powder?

Can you really reuse the metal powder?

PowTReX automates the recovery of metal powder in additive manufacturing with closed cycles, ultrasonic screening, and safe transport. It guarantees quality, operator protection, and compatibility with major 3D printers.
