Why 3D Printing Is Going to Need Blockchain Blockchain has the potential to solve 3D printing’s inherent security risks before they become a major issue. If 3D printing technology wants to get ahead of its inherent security issues, the best way would be to adopt blockchain. Speaking at the 2019 Pacific Design & Manufacturing Show, […]

Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo is heading to California October 21-23 for their largest event yet, featuring 13 vertical tracks, 57 informational sessions, 4 keynotes, a full day of workshops, and more than 60 speakers. The conference will cover a wide range of 3D subjects including tracks focusing on aerospace, architecture, art, business and […]

If you pay attention to the major innovation in the 3d-printing industry, its practically guaranteed you have heard of Stratasys. These guys have been around since the dawn of 3d-printing. S. Scott Crump was one of the first innovators of the additive manufacturing technology when he wanted to make a toy frog for his daughter […]

Manufacturing the future: The next era of global growth and innovation, a major report from the McKinsey Global Institute, presents a clear view of how manufacturing contributes to the global economy today and how it will probably evolve over the coming decade. Our findings include the following points: Manufacturing’s role is changing. The way it […]

Made in Space’s customized 3D printer, the first off-Earth manufacturing device scheduled for arrival at the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014, successfully completed a crucial milestone towards flight certification at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Ala. Founded in 2010 with the goal of enabling in-space manufacturing, Made in Space set out […]

By using a precise form of additive manufacturing (layering material), as opposed to subtractive (removing material), a new technology called 3D printing prints a complex three-dimensional object from raw materials. These raw materials can range from PVC plastic to titanium metal to bio-ink, and through the precision of inkjet-like printing heads, can be formed into […]

The principle of 3D printing has been around since the late 80’s. But the astronomical prices for equipment and materials prevented the use of this technology outside factory buildings. fabbster has set out to change that. fabbster is going to be one of THE tool of modern times; a “carving knife” of modern age, so […]

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Fathom’s creative team of engineers and designers work with some of the most innovative companies in the world today, helping to produce their next generation of products. If you are looking to deliver products to the market faster and more efficiently while reducing new product introduction costs, FATHOM […]

Imagine how much easier it would be to manufacture a car if you could prototype small-scale, physical car parts? The video below shows how Bentley uses Stratasys 3D Printing to model small versions of designs for hubcaps, tires and their treads, auto bodies, interiors, and more. Bentley can efficiently prototype and design top-of-the-line automobiles for […]

The latest press release from Planetary Resources about its partnership with Stratasys underlines the existing media stories about NASA, Branson’s Virgin Galactic, and SpaceX’s interest and activities in adopting in additive manufacturing methods for high performance orbital – plus applications. Yet a number of hurdles remain to be tackled before a robust aerospace additive value […]
