How an additive manufacturing software platform is the key to transforming the additive manufacturing industry. Over the past few decades, additive manufacturing technologies have become widely used across various industries such as automotive, medical, aerospace, and commercial goods. Its adoption has primarily been associated with prototyping due to its ability to rapidly produce multiple iterations of complex geometric shapes that are either more expensive or are near impossible to produce with traditional manufacturing technologies. Now, thanks to advancements in material sciences and printer hardware, additive is able to rapidly produce customised high-quality production-grade end use parts. This has allowed additive... read more →

When we think 3D printing, we tend to think small. Parts, shapes, and forms - generally smaller than a breadbox seem to be the norm. But it's not always so. 3D printers are coming into their identity as they make their way up the adoption curve of technology. As they do, they are more versatile than ever before, printing with many different types of inks and stock. They're also printing, in some instance, to very large scale. They are being used to print large scale forms and products which will operate in environments outside of a research laboratory, university, or... read more →
