How the development of several versions of a medical device can be drastically accelerated using additive manufacturing during the prototype stage. This includes 'multi-typing', the design of parallel ...

3D printing (aka additive manufacturing) has gone far beyond making prototypes quickly. It is now entrenched in manufacturing, and examples abound: Well-designed 3D-printed parts follow many of the ...

3D printing can be an effective, low-cost way to build prototypes, especially when you consider all the competitive advantages companies can get from it—assuming they know what they’re doing. Here are ...

As COVID-19 wreaks havoc on global supply chains, a trend of moving manufacturing closer to customers could go so far as to put miniature manufacturing plants in people’s living rooms. Most products ...

A study conducted jointly by ORNL and IACMI attempted to 3D print developmental tooling to compression mold sheet molding compound (SMC) using high-temperature carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics ...

Quite often when objects are being 3D printed, they have to include supportive structures that are subsequently cut off and discarded. A new print bed, however, is designed to minimize or even ...
