In a recent survey conducted by Jabil, we discovered that in just over a year, the number of companies utilizing 3D printing as well as the variety of applications rocketed dramatically; the percentage of companies using additive to manufacture production parts…
For 3D Printing to grow as an industry, it needs more talent. Join Aaron Lichtig, the Xometry guy and former Jeopardy champion, in this episode of OK Xoomer — Zoom chats with creative engineers & more — as he talks…
Out Friends from Deloitte speak about eat 3D printing resurgence and trends going forward. Like many new technologies, 3D printing was overhyped to an extent in its early days. By 2014, the industry (including but not limited to large public…
3D printing has been taking on industry after industry. One can even 3D print food to some extent. Now researchers funded by NASA will apply that technology and manufacturing approach to print sensors and even a partial circuitry for wireless…
Part of what keeps 3D printing on the cutting edge, despite its ups and downs, is that new materials open up wide avenues of possibility. This year MIT researchers succeeded in 3D printing genetically programmed bacterial cells, compatible with most…
Jan Schroers, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Yale University and Desktop Metal, Inc., in Burlington, Massachusetts, USA, along with colleagues point out that 3D printing of thermoplastics is highly advanced, but the 3D printing of metals is…
Trend #1! The Number of Applications Will Grow In 2018, more industries will find more ways to use additive manufacturing for more applications. Materials other than plastics, such as metals, will help facilitate these new uses, especially in industries such…
According to Gordon Styles, founder and president of Star Prototype. “My biggest single prediction for 3D printing in 2017 is regarding the launch of the Hewlett Packard Jet Fusion 3D 4200. Since the late ‘80s and ‘90s, when SLS, LOM,…
– MULTI-MATERIALS Using a plastic filament has been the norm for 3D printing for quite some time now. Although most consumers are not too bothered by this limitation, printer manufacturers are working on allowing for multi-material support. – More Organs…
1. Consumer Market Being Beaten Up At the consumer electronics show, there was an endless sea of companies offering inexpensive consumer models, each looking identical to the next. It appears they may be late to the party. 2015 marked the…
