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.
This article explains what roughness is in 3D printing, provides surface roughness measurements for SLS, MJF, FDM, DMLS, Carbon DLS, and Polyjet 3D prints and highlights the benefits of surface treatments to achieve a smooth surface for 3D printed parts.
From low-cost plastic filament to engineering-grade titanium powder, the range of available 3D printing materials is wider than ever. Here we look at the key material categories.
In this episode, we discuss a new 3D printing approach by researchers at Columbia University that allows for desserts - specifically cheesecake - to be created using a 3D printer.

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.
