Design Keys: Parts, Not Prints May 31, 2023 Traditional manufacturing principles stress designing for the process. For AM, however, design must encompass the entire process, starting with materials and printing but also consider thermal treatment, machining, chemical post-processing, volumetric and dimensional inspection, and mechanical testing.
3 Trends Toward Mainstream Applications May 18, 2023 The macroeconomic outlook has also taken a toll on the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, with adoption not living up to expectations. This is reflected in the slumping stock prices of publicly traded 3D-printing companies.
How AM Can Help Mitigate Supply Chain Insecurities May 30, 2023 The question is, how can manufacturers mitigate issues related to problems with carbon footprint, supply chains, and labor shortages? Additive manufacturing may be the answer; it has the potential to overcome many of these difficulties.
Industry Experts Forecast Big Gains for AM at RAPID + TCT May 15, 2023 Additive manufacturing takes center stage in Chicago
Digital Technology Is Remaking Manufacturing, Siemens Executive Says May 24, 2023 Digital and Industry 4.0 technology are revamping manufacturing, a trend that will accelerate, the president of Siemens USA said today.
Drivers for Protein Diversity March 15, 2023 Ecological limits will prevent the production of enough meat to satisfy the impending demand. .
3D Systems Collaborating with TE Connectivity March 20, 2023 3D Systems announced its collaboration with TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and sensors, to jointly develop an additive manufacturing solution to produce electrical connectors meeting stringent UL regulatory requirements.
Metal Milestones in 3D Printing February 21, 2020 Compared to machining and other traditional metalworking processes, additive manufacturing (AM) is a newcomer. Most industry experts trace its birth to 1987, when Chuck Hull of 3D Systems fame introduced the first commercially available stereolithography machine, the SLA-1.
New Ventures, Partnerships, Strong Growth Power AM February 20, 2020 Each year, users the world over—and some in outer space—discover new ways to put additive manufacturing (AM) to work. AM contributes to product improvements, increased efficiency, green initiatives, global partnerships, material developments, and groundbreaking innovations.
America Makes reaches significant milestone March 18, 2020 America Makes, the public-private partnership that the Obama administration set up to foster research and innovation in additive manufacturing, achieved a significant milestone late last year: an online portal to track gaps in additive manufacturing (AM) standards.
