From estimating material and energy consumption to gauging impacts on supply chains, here’s how simulation applies to 3D printing. One of the first questions engineers ask when presented with a new ...

There’s a lot of hype surrounding 3D printing technology, but in spite—or perhaps because—of that, one might wonder whether additive manufacturing is all it’s cracked up to be. Are we really in the ...

Improvement of mechanical reinforcement of 3D printed parts is one of the current challenges in additive manufacturing to transition from prototypes to functional parts that meet similar requirements ...

Which wins for metal AM quality control: in-situ monitoring or post-process inspection? We compare techniques, costs, limits, ...

Additive manufacturing has long been seen as a go-to for prototyping. But today, it’s something far more integral: It's a driver of scalable innovation and, increasingly, a viable method for ...

Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a ...

Charles R. Goulding explains what happens when a global automaker turns 3D printing from a prototyping tool into a standardized manufacturing capability, like Stratasys and GM are demonstrating.

The Biden Administration's new package of aid for the nation's manufacturing SMEs called Additive Manufacturing Forward aims to promote innovation and adoption of additive manufacturing (3D printing) ...

Xometry's Nikolaus Mroncz details the three tests that engineering and procurement teams should carry out before proceeding with additive manufacturing.
