The more competitive the business environment, the greater the pressure on individual engineers to deliver unique and specific solutions. The global scale of competition makes it critical to stay at the forefront of new product development. However, it also remains true that there will always be a market for well-engineered...
Production companies worldwide are recognizing that 3D printing is becoming a vital component in building resilient and market-leading supply chains. A "perfect storm" of factors has made this technology increasingly attractive for businesses leading to:Improved production machines: Modern production machines are now significantly more reliable and user-friendly, making in-house...
Are you considering using additive manufacturing (AM) for a project but unsure where to start? Asking the right questions is essential to determine if AM is the right solution for your project’s needs. It’s also the best way to ensure your parts are optimized for quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness from...
For years, 3D printing was primarily used for creating prototypes, figurines, and other non-functional parts. This limited its potential as a true manufacturing solution. While these applications demonstrated the 3D printing industry’s versatility and precision, it often fell short in producing robust end-use components for demanding applications. To address this...
In the realm of additive manufacturing, quality control is not just a final check. It is a comprehensive set of procedures woven into every stage of the additive manufacturing process to ensure precision and consistency. This quality standard is necessary to overcome unique 3D printing challenges such as material variability,...
