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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
