Ricoh 3D Zooms in on Production Data with CO-AM for Continuous Improvement
After switching to Materialise CO-AM for integrated ordering and production management, they're now offering a smoother, more customer-friendly ordering process.
How Hybrid Manufacturing Bridges the Gap Between Additive Speed and CNC Precision

Hybrid manufacturing removes production constraints on design ambition. Engineers who once scaled back geometries to accommodate manufacturing realities can now pursue optimal designs that maximize performance.
Husky Corporation Harnesses 3D Systems' PSLA 3D Printing to Redefine Innovation, Prototyping Speed, and Manufacturing Quality
With a bigger build size than the older ProJet 6000, and new pixel-based projection technology integrated with the buoyant, non-contact precision of SLA, the Husky team realized they could 3D print even faster while still having the accuracy of SLA.
What's (Arguably) the AM Industry's Biggest Blind Spot? Looking at Toolpath Optimization in Isolation
Toolpath optimization is a critical enabler and a powerful lever, as you can improve part performance and reduce costs. But it's only one part of a much larger equation.
Injection Molding Factory Automation: Systems, Implementation, and ROI
This article will explore the entire automation stack from floor robotics through plant-wide intelligence. It also provides an implementation roadmap to differentiate incremental upgrades from operational transformations.
Lessons From Medtech: Deciding When Additive Manufacturing Works and How to Scale It
Medtech is interesting because it's one of the few sectors where AM has really succeeded at scale in production. It's forced to be rigorous: validation, traceability, change control, standardized documentation. That is harder than mastering AM technology itself.
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.
Why the Best Manufacturing Innovations Don't Start in the Lab, They Start in the Field
Manufacturers already rely on laboratory testing, warranty data, and customer feedback to improve future products. I believe field experience deserves a seat at that table as well.
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.
