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.

Gallium-Indium-Tin is an interesting material for stretchable electronics. It can be formed into a non-toxic RoHS-compliant gel and applied to almost any substrate to form stretchable conductive metallizations and circuits.
Many FDM users are haunted by a printing issue known as ghosting. Often caused by vibrations in the printer, 3D print ghosting can usually be fixed by following a few simple steps.

In this episode, we talk about how researchers are developing tools to better understand how different microbial communities impact our health in an effort to reverse engineer them and the critical methodology used to 3D print functional heart ventricles.
Here, the additive nature of the process means that the production process is environmentally friendlier and does not involve etching chemicals. Furthermore, the digital nature of the patterning (inkjet printing) means that designs can be changed faster.
While acetone works in combination with ABS, it is not viable for smoothing PLA prints. Fortunately, there are alternatives to acetone for PLA. From chemical solvents to manual techniques, here are the ways you can post-process and smooth a PLA 3D print.
Designers often work with a clean slate, dreaming up products that can be manufactured in any number of ways. But for manufacturers, the design stage is where important decisions are made about how the product will be produced.
With the rapid development of the automobile industry and its production capacity, traditional sheet metal processes can no longer meet the sector’s growing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to consider new and innovative technologies to keep up with the industry’s ever-evolving needs.
