Innovations How Software is Redefining Value in Additive Hardware In the 3D printing industry, it's no longer the hardware that makes the difference, but the software that makes it intelligent. While the technical specifications of macch…
Innovations How 3D Printing Transforms Product Innovation: Speed, Materials, and Digital Collaboration 3D printing is not just an emerging technology: it is a tool that is redefining the early stages of innovation in...
Manufacturing New 3D printing generates metal-ceramic composite in situ: components come out already resistant to wear, cutting times and costs of post-treatments.
Maker Zortrax M300 Plus (3.990 $) is plug-and-play for those who want immediate reliability; Formbot Troodon 2.0 (1.049 $) offers record volume and temperatures but requires DIY calibration and maintenance. Choose based on your time, not just the price.
Manufacturing Operational guide for automating industrial post-processing: scalable technologies to reduce costs, maintain mechanical properties, and scale additive production.
Manufacturing AI transforms metal 3D printing from prototyping to serial production: real-time control, early defect detection, reduced costs and waste. Precision Additive launches ultra-fast LPBF platform, paving the way for critical aerospace and energy components.
Innovations Carnegie Mellon leads the $28.5 million LIVE project to print temporary liver tissue: a “biological bridge” that supports the liver in regeneration, avoids transplantation, and reduces waiting lists within 5 years.
Manufacturing 3D printing eliminates molybdenum segregation in superalloys, ensuring homogeneous microstructures without expensive remelting processes. More reliable components for gas turbines and aerospace.
Manufacturing Two new patents bring 3D printing to shoe factories: soles up to 30% lighter thanks to optimized structures and multi-layer uppers without seams, customizable to measure. Production expected within 2-5 years.
Maker In 2026, few home 3D printers truly offer innovation: Bambu Lab focuses on modularity and speed, Prusa on an open ecosystem, but speed, materials, and real costs need to be verified beyond the hype.
Manufacturing Metal FFF prints functional metal components with powder+polymer filaments, followed by washing and sintering: economical, fast, suitable for low volumes and complex geometries in aerospace and automotive.
Manufacturing Intelligent thermal control in 3D printing: adaptive pauses and real-time sensors reduce defects by up to 47%, cutting waste and time even in aerospace and medical fields.
