3 moves that are revolutionizing industrial AM

3 moves that are revolutionizing industrial AM

Metals and ceramics in industrial 3D printing are complementary, not alternative. The competitive advantage comes from structured workflows, replicable case studies, and targeted training. To scale, standardized processes and a clear integration plan are needed.

Refactoring without breaking changes? Here's how to verify it

Refactoring without breaking changes? Here's how to verify it

Refactoring 3D models without breaks: verify hierarchical constraints, test dependencies, and validate the STL. A three-level system to maintain parametricity and integrity before production.

Custom 3D in series: how to do it without failing?

Custom 3D in series: how to do it without failing?

To customize wearable devices in series, four pillars are needed: modular architecture, AI and biometric scans for ergonomic variants, hybrid production processes, and end-to-end digital integration. Missing one and the system collapses.

Critical bugs fixed: OrcaSlicer and Marlin are now more reliable

Critical bugs fixed: OrcaSlicer and Marlin are now more reliable

OrcaSlicer v2.3.2 and Marlin 2.1.3-b3 resolve critical bugs: no more crashes in multi-material slicing, 3MF vulnerabilities closed, and native support for FLY boards and GD32 processors. Essential updates for stability, security, and modern hardware.

Cooling by half a millimeter?

Cooling by half a millimeter?

A photopolymerizable ceramic slurry formulation enables 3D printing of components with cooling channels down to 0.2 mm. DLP technology overcomes the limits of traditional bonding, opening new perspectives for wafers, micro-coolers, and laser mirrors. Scalability and material stability remain to be verified.

Threaded inserts, allies for additive manufacturing

Threaded inserts, allies for additive manufacturing

Metal threaded inserts make industrial 3D printing ideal for assembleable and durable parts. Integrating them into digital quotes reduces times, errors, and costs, eliminating the weak points of plastic threads.

3D RF Components: Less Weight, More Power?

3D RF Components: Less Weight, More Power?

3D printing is revolutionizing the production of RF components, enabling lighter antennas and integrated EMI shielding in electronic packages. Additive technologies improve efficiency, customization, and reduce weight, while posing challenges regarding materials and repeatability.

Who is in charge when costs dictate the law?

Who is in charge when costs dictate the law?

The cost reduction of key components such as lasers and light engines is democratizing additive manufacturing, allowing access to metal 3D printers under $10,000. This change is redefining market dynamics, shifting the focus from hardware to services and adaptability to specific use cases. Modularity and standardization allow new realities to com

Why does this resin cost 5x but print twice as much?

Why does this resin cost 5x but print twice as much?

Next-generation photopolymer resins cost more because they are formulated to emulate the properties of engineering plastics like PP or TPU, with chemical precision and control of mechanical characteristics. They are not simple liquids: each resin is designed for specific applications, ensuring quality, durability, and performance similar to injection molding. The difference in pr

Can you really 3D print the CORE One?

Can you really 3D print the CORE One?

Prusa releases the CORE One CAD files under the new open-source OCL license, which allows modifications, sharing, and internal use, but prohibits direct sale without an agreement. Discover what you can concretely do with STEP and Fusion 360 files.

Touch keys in 3D printing? Here's how to do it

Touch keys in 3D printing? Here's how to do it

Here's how to integrate touch keys into your 3D printed objects using self-adhesive copper tape and scheduled pauses during printing. Working capacitive sensors are created with simple measures: three-layer depth positioning, holes for electrical connections, and post-print soldering. An economical and accessible solution for integrated touch interfaces.

Low-cost precision? Here are the real trade-offs

Low-cost precision? Here are the real trade-offs

Desktop 3D printing today offers industrial-grade precision at contained costs, but with limits on scale and speed. Solutions like the microArch S150 and its Ultra upgrade balance precision and throughput for R&D and pilot production. Entry-level post-processors like the M4 Basic improve finish, albeit with dimensional limits. The right choice depends on the specific use case.
