Generative Design is getting a lot of attention — but what is it exactly? Here is why the current Generative Design concepts fall short and how nTop’s alternative approach enables you to unlock its full potential today.
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
Amir Barati Farimani is teaching 3D printers to see, diagnose, and self-correct errors in real time using a new large language model. The AI-powered system works with any 3D printer to produce stronger parts and automate quality assurance.
A deep dive into the physics, properties, and practical applications of 3D printing filaments, from everyday polylactic acid to performance composites.
Using a fleet of printers including an UltiMaker S3 and a MakerBot Method X, the team at Ocean Alliance was able to design, prototype, and build a sophisticated drone-based tagging system from the ground up.

TLM technology allows Schubert to provide its customers with future-proof, high-performance packaging machine solutions that are reliable, easy to operate, and flexible in terms of format conversion.
With over 150 breweries around the world, Heineken is one of the largest global producers of beer. One brewery in Seville, Spain, produces famous brands such as Cruzcampo, Desperados, Heineken, and Amstel. The beer is brewed, packed, and then shipped throughout Spain and beyond.
To get the best from your 3D printer, you need to be armed with the right tools for the job. From removing support material to improving build plate adhesion, here’s a list of must-have tools, all designed to make your life easier.
Chemical-resistant materials are vital for many 3D printing applications. Corrosive chemicals can’t permeate their surface or cause degradation, making them ideal for industrial or end-use parts.
It is essential to properly prepare a print file before you begin the actual 3D printing process. There are many ways to do this, depending on the type of part, materials used, and many other factors.
Flame-retardant materials are vital in some 3D printing applications. They’re more thermally stable than other materials, which means the likelihood of ignition or burning is reduced.
Cody Cochran is the cofounder of Azoth LLC, an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based organization that focuses on combined traditional manufacturing quality with the efficiencies of rapid prototyping. He is also one of 2020’s Ultimaker Innovators.
By rolling out a plan to 3D print in multiple locations within your organization – such as warehouses, factories, or assembly lines – you’ll soon enjoy a wealth of benefits, from increased productivity to cost savings.
By combining cost-effective 3D printing with affordable electronics and wireless technology, new accessibility solutions empower children with limb differences.
Commercially pure copper is a highly desirable material for heat exchangers and electrical components due to its excellent thermal and electrical properties. While these properties are beneficial for the application, they also turn the process of using copper in AM into a challenge.
For a startup manufacturer getting that first product right is crucial for your reputation and future sales. First impressions really do count when you are building up your company and brand equity.
