What does 3D printing mean for bike and product development? At its core, a bicycle is an extremely simple design. Two triangles create a frame, two circles for the wheels and then a handful of other parts help the rider…
Additive Manufacturing Coalition and America Makes campaign for policy updates that recognize the importance of additive manufacturing in aerospace and defense. As additive manufacturing (AM) continues to evolve and mature as a technology and as an industry, engineers need to…
Deutsche Bahn (DB) has achieved a milestone in its adoption of 3D printing technology, reaching the production mark of 100,000 spare parts. According to the German railway company, it demonstrates that 3D printing is “transforming train maintenance”. Deutsche Bahn started…
Vessel components are being transported all around the world when just a simple datafile would suffice. Spare parts for the international shipping sector are being transported over long distances before they are finally installed. Most of this transport and warehousing…
Topology helps organisations unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing by building the next generation of engineering design tools Amid supply chain disruptions, economic uncertainty, and decarbonisation initiatives, industrial hardware companies increasingly rely on digital technologies to adapt. One such…
In the 30-plus years since the introduction of the first additive manufacturing (AM) machines, 3D printers have gotten faster, materials superior, applications bigger, acceptance greater, and the ambition to deploy AM for production all the closer. From Carbon’s 3D printed adidas…
