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
Both FDM & FFF create three-dimensional objects by extruding melted thermoplastic filament through a nozzle, building up layers to form the final product. The distinction between FDM and FFF lies not in the technology itself, but in their origins.
What is the most flexible 3D printing material? Here we discuss the options, from consumer TPU and TPE filaments to industrial-grade elastomers used in SLA and SLS.
Let's dive into the many use cases and applications 3D printing has introduced since its inception, explore where it might be headed, and see how UltiMaker fits into this evolving timeline of past, present, and future.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.

E2IP Technologies manufactures Flexible Heaters using Screen Printing Technology. This is one of the most important segments of printed and additive electronics with applications in cars, homes, and industrial settings.
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
From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
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.
Designing custom fixtures is usually time-consuming and CAD-heavy. Fixturemate tool is a parametric online configurator available exclusively for Xometry users.
The international meeting point for additive manufacturing, industrial 3D printing, and the entire AM process chain.
