2025 Top Article - How Industrial 3D Printing is Propelling Small and Mid-Sized Manufacturers Forward
With lower barriers to entry, small and mid-sized manufacturers have more opportunities than ever to integrate industrial 3D printing into their operations while avoiding the hurdles that once held them back.
Closing Europe's aerospace production gap - EDM automation as part of the answer
EDM removes material using controlled electrical sparks between an electrode and the workpiece submerged in dielectric fluid. This makes it possible to cut extremely hard metals into complex shapes with micrometre accuracy.
Designing for Deviation in Additive Manufacturing
To truly realise the potential of AM, we need to embrace a new design philosophy, one that doesn't just work around variation, but works with it. At Metamorphic, we call this approach Designing for Deviation.
NewsFender's 3D Printed Ballistic Fender Charts a New Course in Maritime Defense
Discover how NewsFender's 3D printed customizable, eco-friendly fenders and boat parts are making waves in the maritime defense industry.
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.
From Heat to Shock: A Materials Playbook for Gigacasting Automation

Gigacasting automation is the most innovative pathway for creating inexpensive yet structurally sound technologies in some of the most intense industries on the planet.
Comprehensive Guide to Composite Materials and Simulation
Composite simulation is crucial because it lets engineers explore designs, optimize performance, and spot failures digitally, saving tons of time and money compared to physical testing. It's challenging due to anisotropy, modeling delamination, and high computational cost.
BigRep ALTRA 280, the Ultimate High-Temperature Industrial 3D Printer
The ALTRA 280 was engineered to solve a challenge that's persisted for years: reliably and affordably producing large, complex parts in both engineering-grade and high-performance polymers.
How Miniaturisation is Reshaping Product Development
Products are shrinking, yet their functionality and complexity are growing exponentially. This shift is rewriting the rules of design, engineering, and manufacturing.
Basics of 3D Printing Simulation: Answering Key Questions
This article provides a comprehensive overview of additive manufacturing simulation, which involves virtually testing and optimizing the 3D printing process.
Indian Aircraft Manufacturing Company Raphe mPhibr Revolutionizes Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Innovation with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform helped Raphe mPhibr reduce prototype development time from years to three months. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates design, simulation and collaboration, supporting in-house design and manufacturing
Rewriting the Rules of Scalable Manufacturing
The project, which fused AM-driven computational design with production-grade investment casting, successfully scaled an intricately engineered part from tens to thousands per day - all without compromising performance, cost-efficiency, or sustainability.
DFAM: WHY PURPOSEFUL GEOMETRY MUST REPLACE PASSIVE OPTIMISATION
Rather than embracing the full potential of AM, many engineers merely adapt existing designs or lean heavily on software-driven outputs, confusing automation with optimisation.
