TAGGED WITH 3d printing
event | OCT 15 - OCT 17, 2026
With just one month before the South Asian 3D printing trade show, we look at the events and showcases visitors will be able to take part in.
Lean manufacturing focuses on creating more value with less waste. Pioneered by Toyota in the 1950s, this approach helps businesses streamline processes, improve efficiency, and eliminate activities that don't add value to the final product.
Following a successful crowdfunding campaign, the FibreSeeker 3 from FibreSeek is bringing continuous carbon fiber printing to a new audience.

The data problem
From leading experts at the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium
GD&T is the symbolic language engineers use to state exactly how much a part can vary and still work. This guide covers the basics.
This guide covers the true position formula, how to read the feature control frame, and how MMC and LMC generate bonus tolerance.
