Static mixers are everywhere; they’re the nozzles that you use to kit or Purr your bathroom. Factories all over the world, in automotive, consumer electronics, and industry, use millions of…

Associate Professor Hang Yu, along with researchers Donnie Erb and Nikhil Gotawala, has used Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) to make shape-memory ceramics. Published in Materials Science and Engineering R:…

Stefan Hermann is an engineer who spent 15 years at Liebherr Aerospace and Transportation. Rather surprisingly, he switched from making LPBF landing gear components possible & simulation to having his…

I’m not saying that I invented this or that I’m the first to try this. For many years, people have been filling the infill patterns of material extrusion prints with…

Recently, a host of new machines have come to complement desktop 3D printing over the past few years. From desktop lathes and laser cutters, we are seeing a Deskside Manufacturing…

Korean materials developer Graphy has partnered with US-based FUGO Precision 3D to make Shape Memory Aligner (SMA) manufacturing at scale possible. Graphy’s SMA technology is indeed very innovative. Its Tera…

What if we take a helicopter view of the additive manufacturing market? Beyond silos, technologies, and market segments, what are going to be the most interesting trends, strategies, tactics, technologies,…

The material extrusion market has seen titanic shifts over the past few years. A new bevvy of low-cost 3D printers have turned to software and sensors to make reliable high-speed…

ADDMAN has purchased Forecast 3D. Private equity-backed ADDMAN has previously bought Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing, Castheon, Dinsmore, and others to become a major player in metal and polymer additive manufacturing. We…

Cobra has added two new golf clubs to its lineup. The 3DP MB and 3DP X. Both use 3D printing to make the clubs have “look and feel of forged…

Polymer additive manufacturing is seeing less investment, attention, and disruption than metal additive manufacturing currently. Less crucial for defense needs, it has of late had far fewer new entrants. But,…

Scott Dunham models all the data at Additive Manufacturing Research. He has been predicting the growth of the 3D printing market in segments, materials, and applications for over a decade….

The industrial metal additive manufacturing world is splitting, with commoditization and lower-cost parts driving the production of millions of components for consumer electronics, machinery, dental, and beyond. Meanwhile, large parts…

The US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has said that it will not certify any new foreign-made drones for use in the US. Models currently on offer in the US can…

For several years, we have seen additive manufacturing software play a more central role in our industry. LPBF machines achieve higher yields and can produce thinner-walled parts thanks to the…

The bankruptcy of Roomba contains within it a story of value engineering, relentless innovation by Chinese firms, and a novel segment that became ho-hum. At the same time, robot lawn…

In this episode of the 3DPOD, Founder and Managing Director of ModuleWorks, Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, joins the conversation to talk about the often less visible role of CAD/CAM software in…
