Additive & 3D Printing - Articles, Stories & Interviews
From Spreadsheet Survival to Digital Quality Backbone in Metal AM
The best engineers I meet are not short on knowledge. They're short on time. They're trapped in a loop of manual documentation, spreadsheet archaeology, and post-mortem investigations.
To Infinity and Beyond
NASA has been making the impossible world of space travel possible for more than six decades is now exploring a more earthbound frontier. It has become a testing ground for generative design—using artificial intelligence (AI) to create novel CAD designs.
Interview with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB: How the NASCAR Team Embraces 3D Printed Car Parts
Consistency is what Steven Sander believes is the key to winning races. He takes us behind the scenes to show how his team consistently uses 3D printed car parts to get their Toyota Camry XSE race cars track-ready.
Talking RAPID+TCT with BigRep
BigRep will be running live demonstrations at our booth all three days. We find that's often the most productive - a conversation on the show floor around real parts tends to be very beneficial.
The printer for the smallest details - Miniature components from 3D printer
The structures that UpNano produces in the 3D printer are so small that they are recognizable neither with the naked eye nor with a strong optical microscope. Only under a scanning electron microscope do the smallest printed structures become visible.
How One Maker and Two Robots Build Civic Monuments: The nioform (Sweden) Case Study
In an old warehouse hangar on the shore of Lake Vänern — no signage, almost incognito — there's a workshop where small models turn into full-scale monuments, theme-park elements, and cinematic "troll skulls."
When Clean is the Key to Precision
Micro molded parts are often invisible to the naked eye, measured in millimeters or fractions of millimeters, with features that can be smaller than a human hair. In this context, a single dust particle can disrupt form, fit, or function.
