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.
Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
In this article we’ll take a look specifically at FDM printers and explore the factors that influence how long a 3D printer can remain functional and reliable - and what you can do to ensure that your printer stays at the top of its game for longer.
This article delves into the essential roles that jigs and fixtures play in streamlining manufacturing processes.
New 3D printing technique fabricates highly complex and controllable ceramic nanostructures that could be the key to emerging engineering systems.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.

Here’s what to do if you notice clicking noises, under-extrusion, or other print quality issues caused by extruder skipping on the Ender 3 by Creality.
Unwanted lines in 3D prints can show up for many reasons and take different forms. Here we look at the most common types of lines in 3D prints and how to eliminate them.
KIT researchers are developing a process with which, for the first time, mirrors with a reflection of more than 99 percent can be printed in variable sizes
In this episode, we explore how researchers have developed an AI system that can watch a 3D print as it's being made, detect mistakes, and automatically correct them before the print fails
In this episode, we explore a new 3D printable material that can quickly transform into a strong, bone-like scaffold capable of supporting new bone growth. Learn how this breakthrough could lead to faster recovery times and improve treatments for patients with serious bone injuries.
