Mechnano's new conductive elastomeric pellets offer reliable electrical and mechanical performance thanks to D'Func technology, which guarantees uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes, overcoming the limits of traditional ESD materials. Ideal for sectors such as electronics, automation and medical, these materials enable the scalable production of flexible components with yields

Industrial 3D printing with recycled materials offers environmental benefits but requires balancing between quality, cost, and performance. The use of recycled powders, if well managed, can reduce the carbon footprint without compromising mechanical properties, provided that parameters such as sphericity, oxygen content, and particle size distribution are controlled. Studies show up to 98.71% reduction

The future of industrial metal AM requires an integrated approach that connects all production processes into a single intelligent architecture, eliminating physical movements and operational delays. Winning factories do not improve individual steps, but redesign the entire workflow as a system coordinated by a common layer of intelligence, automation, and shared data.

Titanium metamaterials, thanks to their nature-inspired geometric structure realized with SLM 3D printing, absorb energy more efficiently and predictably than traditional materials. Designed to distribute stresses homogeneously, they offer a stable stress plateau during deformation, ideal for structural safety applications in the aerospace field

Entry-level desktop 3D printing offers low costs but presents limitations in quality, materials, and reliability compared to industrial systems. Compromises on advanced materials, post-sales support, and longevity make a careful evaluation of actual production needs necessary before purchase.

3D printing is revolutionizing microfluidics by enabling the rapid and precise production of complex devices in a single process. Technologies like PolyJet and PµSL allow for the creation of microfluidic chips with micrometer-scale channels, eliminating assembly phases and reducing development costs and times. The integration of advanced design, biocompatible materials, and functional coatings enables

Investors in additive manufacturing are increasingly focusing on operational efficiency and solid business models, leaving technological speculation behind. Businesses with stable contracts, sustainable margins, and the ability to generate real value in the production chain are being rewarded.

Mass customization is now possible thanks to additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and parametric design. These technologies allow for the production of thousands of customized variants while maintaining efficiency and margins, overcoming the limits of traditional production. The integration of software toolchains and automated processes enables the management of variability without au

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.

The certification of medical devices produced with additive manufacturing requires an operational framework that integrates regulatory requirements from the design phase. This approach, called “design for certification”, reduces delays and late reviews, turning compliance into a competitive advantage. It is fundamental to qualify the 3D printing process with documented proof of rep

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
