Gridfinity is a tool and desk organization system made by Zack Freedman of Voidstar Lab. Essentially it’s a grid to which you attach boxes or holders that are precisely the…

Cornell researchers are working on better breast implants, specifically making 3D printed nipple scaffolds for mastectomy patients. Xue Dong aided by Jason Spector and others used the material Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate or P4HB…

Fluidform books progress in cardiac tissue and drug discovery. Working with Merck & Co. the company has seen success with its Cardiac Drug Discovery Platform (CDDP) for in-vitro toxicology and pharmacology testing….

We lack a complete and thorough understanding of the Additive market. Often essential, important or very profitable applications, procedures or knowledge is not shared. This means that the true extent,…

Support material for silicone has been difficult to do. Now a team at the University of Florida has developed a material that has low interfacial tension between itself and the…

Korean researchers have developed a new 3D Printing Metal technology. The technology uses an arc plasma heat source but continuously deposits molten droplets of metal letting one print overhangs and other…

Ben Schrauwen was a Professor of Machine Learning who also had a few startups under his belt when joined Autodesk and worked on the CAD giant’s 3D printing software. He…

We’ve got a rather peculiar problem in Additive. I call this the tip of the iceberg problem and it stems from seven distinct factors. The high degree of strategic replication…

In the last post in this series, I looked at the overall market for specialty vehicles, including the types of automobiles that comprise it, some of the manufacturers, and the…

Relativity Space‘s rocket did launch after two failed attempts but the second stage failed to ignite. This is a terrible event in 3D printing. It makes us all look bad and…

If we look at the past three decades of deploying additive manufacturing (AM) in the real world, we can find a few killer applications that have commercialized technologies and spread…

Hypersonic glide vehicles will need to resist incredible heat and pressure from flying at Mach Five and above. For that reason, the materials used to make them will likely be…

Scott Volk has deep experience in additive and, over the decades, he’s stood at the forefront of polymer and metal implementations, working for such firms as Incodema3D and GPI Prototype….

Biotechnology giant Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) is using bioprinting to simulate the immune system to aid drug development. The company’s research looks for immune responses from compounds being evaluated for use…

The University of Arkansas has gotten $3.4 million in funding to improve concrete 3D printing. The money comes from Applied Research Associates which is distributing it on behalf of the…

Creality is bringing a $349 3D scanner on the market. The scanner is portable, has an ASIC for better image processing, has on board visual tracking, captures color as well…

Martin Eichenhofer took his research from ETH Zurich and turned it into an exciting startup, 9T Labs, which hopes to make its two step carbon fiber 3D printing technique suitable…

In a previous article, we went into great detail about the size and elements of the market for horse trailers, determining that, any way you slice it, horses may represent…

A horse trailer is not an enticing video extolling the virtues of Seabiscuit 2 or a Black Beauty reboot. Rather, it is a towed vehicle used for transporting horses. I…

According to the “Post-Processing for Additive Manufacturing: Market Analysis and Forecast” report from SmarTech Analysis, the additive manufacturing (AM) post-processing market is expected to be worth $1.8 billion by 2031….

Rack Robotics´ Powercore turns your desktop 3D printer into an EDM machine. I’d never considered even having such a capability on the desktop but this can really give people an…

Evonik and BellaSeno have received market authorization for their reabsorbable 3D printed scaffolds for bone regeneration using Evonik’s Resomer polymers. Delft researchers have used 2PP to show how the curvature of biomaterials…

Matt Smith started his firm TCPoly while he was a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He parlayed this small business into manufacturing filament that is thermally, but not…

From March 19 to 23, 2023, the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference descends on Chicago once again. The AMUG Conference is a great event that is quite different from…
