What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.
EPFL researchers have developed a way to use holograms to guide laser light for ultra-efficient, fast, and precise volumetric 3D printing. The innovation enables cell-compatible, high-resolution 3D printing at scales suitable for biomedical applications.
Princeton researchers have combined brain cells and advanced electronics into a 3D device that can be programmed to recognize patterns using computational techniques.
For students and early-career engineers, preparing for the job market can feel like navigating uncharted waters. Watch this on-demand AMA (ask-me-anything) with a Siemens recruiter and an engineering hiring manager to help you land your next engineering job.
What if your next critical manufacturing project was halted by an unexpected supply chain disruption? In modern manufacturing, that is a constant risk. Staying on track requires agile sourcing, real-time coordination, and partners who can adapt when plans shift.
MIT CSAIL researchers developed SustainaPrint, a system that reinforces only the weakest zones of eco-friendly 3D prints, achieving strong results with less plastic.
3D printing is no longer just a prototyping tool—it's a viable option for serial production. For small to mid-sized batches, especially where agility, customization, or geometric freedom matters, 3D printing can beat traditional methods like injection molding or CNC machining.
The applications of 3D printing span many industries, from aircraft fuel nozzles to dental aligners. Here we look at some of the most important uses of the technology.
Discover how Metal Technologies enhanced mold alignment with SCANOLOGY's fast, portable 3D scanning solution, achieving accurate, repeatable measurements and greater efficiency despite high-temperature and space-constrained foundry conditions.
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser power bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, thereby being able to process multiple metals at once. The system significantly reduces manufacturing time and opens up new possibilities for aerospace and industry.
Capacitor codes can seem like a cryptic puzzle, but they hold vital information about capacitance, voltage ratings, tolerance, and more. In this guide, we'll break down capacitor marking codes, SMD capacitor identification, capacitor value lookup, EIA capacitor codes, and decipher capacitor symbols
AI is reshaping 3D printing by optimizing workflows, cutting waste, and enhancing design. At Formnext 2025, industry leaders will showcase how these innovations are driving efficiency and pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing.
