We’re looking at the benefits of 3D printing in key sectors, specifically those where additive manufacturing has become a mainstream production method to unlock benefits that go beyond rapid prototyping. In the final part of our series, we consider the benefits of automotive.

3D printing is often associated with the birth of rapid prototyping, giving engineers the tools to perfect designs without the need for specialist tooling or die sets.

In this, the first of four articles exploring some of the sectors unlocking the greatest potential from 3D printing technologies we discuss how additive manufacturing is making a real difference in the dental and medical industries.

A team of researchers and engineers are pioneering the use of wasp-inspired 3D printing drones to build emergency shelters – and we think it's brilliant!

It has been billed as a disruptive 3D printing technology for a new era of manufacturing and HP’s patented Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology is already delivering on its promise for faster, more material-efficient and more detailed parts without compromise, compared to traditional component manufacturing techniques. But how does it work? And what are the true benefits? Here is a quick dive into MJF and the possibilities it opens up.

Casting, moulding, and machining are all traditional manufacturing methods used for component production – but 3D printing is becoming mainstream too. Short, reliable lead times and digital warehousing aside, 3D printing offers a range of other value add solutions that can improve product performance and save money compared to conventional manufacturing techniques. Here are five of them:

In order to produce a successful 3D print, it is important to use the correct file format for your printer. In this article, we will explore the most commonly used file formats in 3D printing and their characteristics.

The aerospace industry has always been at the forefront of innovation and technology, and 3D printing is no exception.

Compared to other 3D printing methods, MJF offers several unique benefits. We briefly discuss some of the key benefits of Multi Jet Fusion technology.
