Large Format Additive Manufacturing can be game-changing in product and process optimization, contributing to fighting climate breakdown. For the project Demo4Green - 𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗲-𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘, Caracol used recycled glass fibers and polypropylene to produce a lamination tool for micro wind turbines.
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) both refer to a type of extrusion 3D printing. So why the two terms?
Understanding the differences and benefits of direct drive and bowden extrusion systems.
To send its Christmas wishes Caracol worked on a project that is representative of its values and work as an Additive Manufacturing company.
Electroforming is an additive manufacturing process specialized for the production of high precision metal parts. Its uniqueness is that you can grow metal parts atom by atom, providing extreme accuracy and high aspect ratios. Typical precision of a electroformed part goes down to 1 to 2 μm, which is beyond what most other manufacturing technologies can reach.
3D printing offers drone makers an agile and low-cost method of manufacturing.
Engineers at Caltech have developed a method for 3-D printing pure and multicomponent metals, at a resolution that is, in some cases, an order of magnitude smaller than previously possible. The process, which uses water-based chemistry and 3-D printing, was described in a paper published in Nature on October 20.

Manufacturing platform, Hubs, has published its Supply Chain Resilience Report 2023, featuring insights from 2022 and addressing recent supply chain disruptions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, and more. Download the full report below.
Alongside aerospace, automotive, and defense, health care has long been—and will continue to be—one of the key revenue opportunities for 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) technology.
VulcanForms, founded by an MIT alumnus and professor, has created digital production systems to manufacture complex metal parts at scale.
HDPE can be found in objects like plastic bottles, garden chairs, and piping. But just how useful is HDPE filament for FDM 3D printing?
Fast design cycles, lightweighting, and manufacturing on-demand are pushing 3D printing further into the aerospace industry.
Lonypack began to explore 3D printing in early 2022. Their goal was to develop new component designs that would optimize its production process. Doing so would allow the Spanish company to achieve these improvements in its state-of-the-art plant in the most economical, customizable way possible.

A unique new approach of printing functional materials with unparallel precision and repeatability. Technology called Ultra-Precise Deposition (UPD) is a nanodispensing method capable to print high density and high viscous materials with the resolution down to 1 µm in feature size and with high ratio of width to height after single pass. For this method material extrusion is controlled by a pressure, which means it is not supported with high electric field. Thanks to this there are no limitation if the substrate is conductive or dielectric.
