How to make predictions in additive manufacturing with simulation apps
Engineers at the Industrial Technology Research Institute built a simulation app that can be used to predict the performance of laser powder bed fusion, an additive manufacturing process. The app saves time and money during the additive manufacturing … [Read more...] about How to make predictions in additive manufacturing with simulation apps
How combining subtractive and additive manufacturing makes better parts
When it comes to making a designed part, you have several choices: traditional machining, which covers a range of options; injection molding; and now additive manufacturing. Even more recently though, is the trend of combining metal fabrication and … [Read more...] about How combining subtractive and additive manufacturing makes better parts

How does 3D printing differ from CNC machining?
By Mike Dunlap If you are familiar with the advantages of and possibilities that are opened up by CNC machining, you may have so far steered clear of the emerging trend for additive manufacturing. There is doubtlessly room for both technologies to … [Read more...] about How does 3D printing differ from CNC machining?
Generative design and 3D printing help make a walking car
It’s 2020 and we don’t have flying cars. But maybe, we’ll have cars that can walk soon. Through the use of the generative design capabilities in Autodesk’s Fusion 360 software and 3D printing, Hyundai Motor is developing a walking car it calls the … [Read more...] about Generative design and 3D printing help make a walking car
