Multiple file-format choices exist, but you might want to consider taking additional steps when saving your parts for 3D printing. One can choose from a number of file formats for 3D printing, and in general they all work fine. However,…
From 3dprint.com: I remember when I was planning my first 3D printer purchase. These were endless hours of browsing phrases like “3D printer choice criteria” or “the most important 3D printer details every article’s main point was “it depends on what do you…
OEM Renishaw has collaborated with software company Identify3D to produce an end-to-end, secure digital manufacturing process. The collaboration between Renishaw and Identify3D will deliver secure manufacturing to supply chains in the aerospace, automotive, defence and medical sectors, as these industries make…
For the last 20 years, manufacturers have used 3D printing to build prototypes, but it was only recently that this industrial technology entered the mainstream. The 3D printing of products can enable faster time-to-market, save money, mitigate risk and allow…
Emirates has for the first time used cutting-edge 3D printing technology to manufacture components for its aircraft cabins. The airline used Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a new 3D printing technique to produce video monitor shrouds. Emirates has worked with 3D…
As medicine advances, technology is playing an ever-increasing role. The development of CT and MRI scanners to see inside patients, pacemakers to keep hearts beating, and prosthetic limbs that interact with the nervous system, have proved how valuable technology can…
The ability to 3D print more than one material at the same time and thereby create complete items with no assembly is a transformational capability. Congratulations to the University of Nottingham team! A team of researchers based at the University of…
One of the original purposes of Supercharg3d is to bring pragmatism and balance to what is all-too-often a hyped technology (not that it isn’t disruptive and already changing supply chains!). This is a good summary of some of the key…
Patients could benefit from printed body parts in just five to 10 years, according to Reza Sadeghi, chief strategy officer at Biovia group of technology company Dassault Systemes. Bioprinting first generated media buzz several years ago, when researchers showed videos…
3D printing technology offers countless opportunities to transform the manufacturing industry. 3D printers have expanded a company’s operational capabilities to encompass the use of rapid prototyping. These new developments include 3D printing pumps. Manufacturing pump components can be a costly…
