Pandemic Shows Importance of Local Supply Chains

The mass use of AM with emergency authorizations is almost as unprecedented as the pandemic itself. Worldwide supply chain disruptions required everyone to identify local solutions to manufacture emergency medical supplies and equipment. AM came out on top as an on-demand, production-capable, locally sourced solution.

Metal AM: Challenging the Paradigm

The industry standard for 3D printing metal surfaces [without supports] is 45o, as measured from the horizontal plane. That’s what most printers are capable of achieving without supports.

More to Choose From in 3D Printing

From Copper to Filaments, engineers are developing new materials for 3D printing, advancing its practical use. In February, Markforged, Watertown, Mass., commercialized a pure copper filament for its printers so they can use this hard-to-machine metal.

Forging Solutions for the Future of 3D Printing

3D printing is as much about the software as it is about the unique technology of the printers, and a well-designed platform brings the power of agile software engineering to the world of industrial manufacturing.

Desktop Metal Receives DoD Award

Desktop Metal said it received an award from the Department of Defense to develop an additive manufacturing process capable of mass-producing Cobalt-free hardmetals.

What AM was planned for IMTS?

Had IMTS 2020 taken place as scheduled, it would have been clear that making parts as quickly and cost-effectively as possible remains as the primary goal in manufacturing.
