This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Top 1: An all-in-one CAD solution
JELL is a supplier of parts for household appliances such as coffee machines or vacuum cleaners. It has been using metal additive manufacturing for 10 years now to validate its concepts and quickly offer ready-to-use parts. In particular, it has invested in Concept Laser machines. The company uses Siemens NX software, a CAD solution that allows it to design everything on the same tool. There is no need to transfer data from one software to another: here, designers can model and simulate the results on the same platform, which saves them time. In particular, they use DfAM techniques such as topological optimization.
Top 2: The mobilization of the actors of additive manufacturing
We present you another initiative led by the actors of 3D printing to fight against the current pandemic. In this video, discover how 3D technologies can enable the creation of swabs for faster testing. This time we follow a maker who is printing dozens of swabs from his FDM machine at the same time. Proof that everyone is mobilized!
