Advanced photopolymerization in 3D printing includes technologies such as TVAM, which is fast but less precise, and 2PP, which is extremely detailed but slow. Both offer complementary advantages: TVAM for rapid volumes, 2PP for micro-details. Hybrid solutions integrate the two technologies to maximize productivity and precision, opening up new possibilities in fields such as bio-engineering and micro-optics.

The convergence between additive manufacturing and retail is redefining custom production, extending it from consumer goods to industrial sectors. Thanks to 3D printing, it is possible to produce multiple variants without additional costs, while artificial intelligence manages design complexity. Retail points are transforming into production and data collection nodes, enabling personalization

Formlabs announces a leadership change with Rob Willett joining the board, while Carl Bass leaves after eight years. Willett, former CEO of Cognex, brings expertise in automation and machine vision, marking a strategic shift for the company aiming to expand its influence in professional additive manufacturing and prepare for a potential IPO.

Workflow automation in industrial 3D printing requires governance, standardized models, and clear control criteria. Only with these foundations can automation reduce times and costs, improving quality and repeatability.

3D printing is revolutionizing architecture: models and concrete houses in days, zero waste, recycled materials and circular design for a sustainable future.

Quick guide: choose the right CAD to print in 3D without errors. From free models (Tinkercad, Fusion 360) to modeling rules, you get to optimized printing in a few hours.

Industrial 3D printing is a reality: it requires gradual integration, advanced materials, digital workflows, and measured ROI to scale successfully.

3D scanning transforms real objects into editable and printable digital models, accelerating reverse engineering and production with precision up to 50 µm.

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...

3D post-processing failures cause scrap and costs. Identifying causes (washing, curing, finishing) and applying visual/metrology diagnostics reduces errors, optimizes processes, and cuts scrap.

Industrial SLA 3D printing reduces costs and setup times by up to 75%, transforming tooling and prototyping in automotive and aerospace with micrometric precision and savings up to 200,000 $ per project.

3D printing revolutionizes fashion: rapid prototyping, custom-fit garments, and sustainable on-demand production. Challenges regarding materials and comfort remain, but the future is personalized, distributed, and zero-impact.
