3D printing is challenging the ways that Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods are traditionally employed to assess the structural adequacy of engineered components. Thanks to 3D printing technologies, it is no longer... read more →
Today we’re going to talk about why the cloud is great. It’s convenient, safe, and probably better than whatever you’ve got going on now. Even companies with the world to... read more →
When I was working for the automotive industry, I heard the phrase “additive manufacturing” thrown out in prototyping. Later on, I was briefly introduced to the philosophy behind the practice.... read more →
In my previous post, I expounded my belief that 3D printing processes today are capable of being successfully embedded into a manufacturing enterprise. The emphasis of that post was on... read more →
Additive manufacturing enables engineers to employ design strategies that were never before possible. Prominent among these are lattice structures, which have traditionally been incredibly difficult to both design and manufacture.... read more →
Writing about 3D printing’s potential is so easy. It’s objectively cool – design for additive manufacturing (DFAM), multicolor, printing on the International Space Station – all of it. Thing is,... read more →
One of the negative side effects resulting from the past couple of years of media hype around 3D printing has been an over emphasis on the past and the future,... read more →
It's a wondrous time to be alive: cars are starting to drive themselves, robots are starting to walk around and conceivably escape, and 3D printing is starting to make previously... read more →
Just click print. Three words - a lifetime goal for anyone in the modern printing business. It literally crosses dimensions, and not in a vague science fiction way. Today we’re... read more →
