MaterialsRethinking the AM Workflow: Montana Mixers on Solving Problems Before the PrinterAs additive manufacturing moves into production, the conversation is starting to change. Instead of asking whether a part can be printed, manufacturers are asking whether they can print it the same way every time. More often than expected, the answer…
NewsApple Is Taking a Close Look at 3D Aluminum Printing for Its New ProductsWhile currently speculative, rumors suggest Apple is accelerating its adoption of additive manufacturing, specifically metal and aluminum 3D printing, across its product lineup. Building on last year’s successful use of 3D-printed titanium for the Apple Watch and the iPhone Air’s
Applications3 Challenges Slowing the Adoption of Additive Manufacturing in DefenseAt the Military Additive Manufacturing Summit (MILAM) in Tampa, one theme surfaced repeatedly across panel discussions and conversations with defense officials and industry leaders. The question is no longer whether additive manufacturing works. It is whether the systems around i
NewsWEBINAR: Unlocking Production with Industrial AM: Lessons from Experts, Resellers & Real UsersWhen does resin printing move from a prototype to a production asset? Can SLA patterns actually survive the burnout process in a high-stakes foundry? How does the cost-per-part on an SLA system compare to traditional tooling at scale? If you…
ApplicationsNASA Deploys 3D-Printed Titanium Spring in OrbitOn February 3, as the Mercury One satellite passed over Earth, a small box released a titanium spring with a simple yet disruptive movement. This was the JPL Additive Compliant Canister (JACC), a technology demonstration developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion…
GuidesWhy Fatigue Still Decides Whether AM Flies — Insights from Dr. Onome Scott-Emuakpor Ahead of RAPID + TCT 2026Additive manufacturing promises lighter parts, complex geometries and faster production for aerospace. But in aviation, printing a component is the easy part. Proving it will survive in operation is what determines whether it is ever approved for service. A component…
ApplicationsHow LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Redefines NASCAR Production with Large-Format AMIn the high-stakes world of NASCAR, where championships are won in the margins of milliseconds, the “speed to track” is as critical as the speed on it. LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, the team co-owned by legends Jimmie Johnson and Richard Petty,…
GuidesAdvancing into SLS Manufacturing: Raise3D’s Strategy to Build a Complete Polymer AM EcosystemOver the past decade, Raise3D has established itself as a key player in professional polymer 3D printing. Initially known for its FDM systems, the company has progressively expanded its portfolio to address a wider range of industrial needs, entering the…
GuidesThe Job Roles Emerging With Additive ManufacturingNot long ago, one engineer could take an additive manufacturing project from design file to finished part. That’s changed. As the technology has scaled, so has the number of people it takes to run it and the range of skills…
MaterialsMoon Dust and Lasers: The Technology That Could Build the Next Lunar BaseOn the Moon, nothing is easy to replace. Every tool, spare part and structural component must be launched from Earth, with a very high price tag. (There’s no Amazon Prime on the Moon.) The solution, researchers from The Ohio State…
NewsTCT Asia 2026: What to Know Before You GoThe twelfth edition of TCT Asia, the leading event for the additive manufacturing industry in the Asia-Pacific region, is almost here! This year’s summit will host a wide range of technologies, presented by over 550 exhibitors. The atmosphere is designed…
