This Report shows how tools like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and on-demand manufacturing are no longer emerging concepts, but are already delivering measurable impact across the product lifecycle.
Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a portable measuring device that detects the metabolic marker acetone in breath almost as accurately as a mass spectrometer. It can be used by laypeople and detects when the body starts burning fat when dieting or during exercise.
Choosing between 3D printing and injection molding is one of the key decisions in product development—especially in case of prototyping.
Explore how the right finishes and coatings can improve aerospace parts by boosting durability, extending service life, enhancing environmental resistance, and delivering the performance and appearance required for demanding applications.

From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.
We've all heard of nylon, and most of us touch it daily. First synthesised in 1935 by chemist Wallace Carothers of DuPont, this well-known polymer was first used to replace silk in women's stockings.

How microstepping works in stepper motors, the incremental torque cost of each resolution, and why finer microsteps do not improve positioning accuracy.
How closed-loop stepper motors use encoder feedback to eliminate missed steps, plus driver design, NEMA sizing, and when to choose a servo instead.
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) is the discipline of shaping a part around what a 3D printer can actually build.
3D-printed medical tools can often be produced in days instead of weeks, allowing engineers to build parts on demand, refine designs quickly, and move into evaluation faster. That is helping healthcare teams develop more adaptable solutions, with equipment built for a specific patient or procedure.
