Aibuild OS is an AI platform that unifies the engineering workflow, integrating CAD, CAE, and CAM into a single intelligent environment. It eliminates fragmentation between tools, automates complex processes with “Digital Engineers,” and generates 3D models from text or 2D inputs, reducing errors and production times.

Integrate free or premium 3D resources into your educational or consumer projects to accelerate development and innovation. Choose suitable platforms, verify quality and licenses, and optimize the workflow for professional results.

Bio-based materials for SLS 3D printing, such as PHB and PA11, offer more sustainable solutions but still present technological limitations compared to traditional polymers like PA12. Although they improve stiffness and thermal stability, they suffer from lower ductility, high porosity, and a narrow process window. Research continues to optimize composition and parameters, aiming for a balance between sust

New 3D printing ink based on lignosulfonate, a by-product of the paper industry, enables room-temperature processes without solvents or post-treatments. Composed of 70% waste material, it is recyclable up to nine times while maintaining high performance, promoting a circular economy in industrial additive production.

The industry is implementing bio-based sustainable materials on a large scale, integrating responsible agricultural supply chains, technological innovation and circular economy. Projects such as Pragati, Bio.3DGREEN and Virtucycle demonstrate how sustainability and industrial performance can coexist, thanks to strategic partnerships and standardization.

There's a prejudice that's hard to die: 3D printed products have an inevitably compromised aesthetic. True Iconic Design overturns this logic by building sculptural home accessories where the production technology disappears completely — and only the design remains.

A new innovative method enables the automatic identification of 3D printed parts directly using CAD models, without the need to retrain machine learning models. Developed by KU Leuven, Materialise, and Iristick, the system leverages geometric representations and few-shot learning techniques to classify new parts quickly and efficiently, reducing times and

Chemical vapor is revolutionizing the post-processing of 3D parts, offering smooth, waterproof, and repeatable finishes without material removal. Automated technologies like AMT PostPro eliminate production bottlenecks, reduce costs, and improve mechanical properties, making additive production scalable and certifiable for demanding industries.

The adoption of additive manufacturing in industry requires operational discipline, focus on defined part families, and rigorous process control. Technology alone is not enough: organizational management is needed to ensure reliability and repeatability. Winning applications are born where performance advantages outweigh complexity, such as in aerospace, medical, and tooling. Integration

Implementing the digital thread in additive manufacturing is now an operational necessity, no longer a futuristic vision. Multi-CAD integration requires reliable solutions to overcome interoperability barriers, ensure traceability, and maintain data consistency throughout the entire production cycle. Case studies and best practices show how middleware, clear governance, and hybrid toolchains can

The guide illustrates the use of consumer-grade LiDAR for 3D scanning, comparing tools such as smartphones with integrated LiDAR, portable scanners like 3DMakerpro Lynx and Toucan, and practical workflows for makers and small productions. The advantages of each technology are analyzed in terms of precision, portability, and costs, with application examples in design, teaching, and prototyping

The Mintion V1 is an accessible filtration system for FFF/FDM 3D printers, designed to reduce ultrafine particles and VOCs. It uses HEPA and activated carbon filters, easily integrating into home or maker spaces. It improves air quality by reducing odors and pollutants, but requires conscious use and correct installation to maximize effectiveness.
