What is the most underrated capability of additive manufacturing, according to 3D Systems
3D printing is a dynamic industry, with new technologies and techniques emerging all the time. Here’s what Menno Ellis, senior vice president, Strategy & Vertical Markets, 3D Systems says about coming developments. For many years, the additive … [Read more...]
How to work with thin walls when 3D printing
Many 3D printed designs require some sort of support during the build process. For extruded designs, the material that supports the design is either a soluble or easily removable material or the same materials as the printed part, just printed … [Read more...]
How to select the right metal additive manufacturing machine for your needs
One of the major metal additive technologies is known as Powder Bed Fusion. This technology builds parts in the following manner: A layer of fine metal powder is spread across a machine bed. One or more lasers move across the bed, fusing sections of … [Read more...]
What are the most used materials for 3D printing / additive manufacturing?
According to a recent report from Sculpteo, about 65% of users work with plastics, 36% use metals, 29% use resins, 8% use ceramic material for 3D printing /additive systems. This 2018 report also notes that the most used 3DP technology is fused … [Read more...]
What is the least recognized capability of 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing?
