2024 Additive Manufacturing Survey Report

Additive manufacturing (AM) is evolving from a basic prototyping tool into a full-scale production workhorse. In our latest industry survey, 60% of respondents use 3D printing for end-use parts, up from 35% in 2023. Companies across industries are seeking flexible and scalable solutions to overcome traditional constraints including design limitations...

Designing 3D Printed Parts with Inserts, Threads, and Snap Fits

As 3D printed parts become more commonplace in industrial applications, functional integration is becoming increasingly important. A secure mechanical attachment to the larger system is one of the key success factors. With a secure attachment, the part—and the entire system—gains strength and reliabilityOver the past five years, there have been...

3D Printing Workflow for Orthotics and Prosthetics

The prosthetic and orthotic (O&P) industry is at a pivotal crossroads. On one side, the traditional fabrication method relies on manual craftsmanship, involving plaster casting, hand molding, and extensive trial-and-error adjustments. While effective to some degree, this approach is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to inconsistencies. Conversely, you have "off-the-shelf" O&P...
