3D printing is already finding its way into end-use part production for cars. The Aston Martin Callum Vanquish 25 by R-Reforged, a reimagining of the 2001 Vanquish, will included multiple 3D printed ...

GM is now using additive manufacturing in many of its race series 3D printing saves both time and money, especially in the wind tunnel It does trickle down to production vehicles, but not exactly as ...

We've only just begun to see the huge impact 3D-printing technology will have on manufacturing, and the aerospace industry is a prime example. Earlier this year we saw the first example of a ...

The race is on to use 3D printing to produce small-series parts, on demand and on location, for industries from aerospace to automotive. At stake is the shape of a $400 billion market for spare parts ...

Silicone is a useful material for many purposes. Traditionally, creating something out of silicone required injection molding. That’s not difficult, but it does require a good bit of setup. As ...

Aircraft parts generally have to meet very specific standards, because if certain parts fail, the aircraft falls out of the sky. This usually ends poorly, and is best avoided by using the proper ...

Additive manufacturing, the engineer's version of what everyone else calls 3D printing, is too slow and too expensive to mass-produce car parts, but the calculus flips for an ultra-low-volume car like ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...

3-D printing is no longer a new or innovative technology for the largest manufacturers in aerospace who have been creating solid objects from digital files for more than a decade, but what’s happening ...

In Part 1, I wrote about the 3D printing market predictions, standards, inspection, technology and materials that might expand and thrive in 2019. This article will focus on companies that are making ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...
