Mastering Powder Management in Metal Powder-Bed AM
We talk about "industrialisation" and "serial production." Then we manage one of the most critical variables in the entire process chain (the powder) like it's a static material that arrived with a certificate.
Engineering Innovation Through AI, Simulation, and Quality-Driven Design
In this interview, Viraj discusses how manufacturers can leverage digital engineering, simulation, and quality-by-design principles to accelerate innovation while building more reliable, efficient, and resilient products.
How Dominique Bastien Turned Gondola Restoration Into a Specialized Manufacturing Discipline
Over the years, we developed much more precise restoration procedures. Things like sanding sequence, machine pressure, heat control, polishing compounds, and movement patterns all became extremely important.
The Value of Additive Manufacturing — When it Works, Why it Works
The fastest way to lose trust in AM is to apply it indiscriminately. The fastest way to unlock its value is to treat it like what it really is: a precise manufacturing tool with defined strengths, defined trade-offs, and a growing role in modern production systems.
79% of US manufacturers are reshoring. Only 34% are ready for it.
Research in March 2026, found that 79% of US manufacturers have already brought outsourced production in-house or are actively doing so. Only 8% haven't even looked at the option.
More sustainable injection moulding
Dervish Ibrahim, international sales manager at TM Robotics, explains why all-electric injection moulding machines are the way forward for reducing the process's environmental impact — while also helping manufacturers achieve a lower cost-per-part.
Innovation in Blue Laser Power in Industrial Wire DED 3D Metal Printing
In much of the wire DED space, you'll often see companies focusing on doing one part extremely well, like the deposition head itself for example. But in reality, system performance is dominated by how all these elements interact.
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."
3D Printed Buoy Gives Voice to Berlin's River Spree
A 3D-printed buoy uses sensors and solar power to reveal the health of Berlin's River Spree and engage the city with its main river. To meet the project's requirements for scale, durability, and sustainability, Jakob partnered with BigRep.
2025 Top Article - AUTOMATION IS UNLOCKING THE FUTURE OF AM SERVICES
In this article, I want to dive into the role automation plays in the approach to AM services, highlighting the benefits it delivers to customers, how it drives operational efficiency, and why it's essential for the future of this industry.
