Your blog or article will be of interest of the AM community when it follows these guidelines.
- Timely and relevant content that is educational or newsworthy: Show how technology works, how a process work, problem(s) it solved, and/or challenges to using the technology may be solved.
- Top performing content communicates the impact of technology as a tool of transformation.
- Real-world application and/or case studies–the more interesting the application, the better–including research and data.
- Other popular approaches include application trends, challenges to use and growth, and Quick how-to guides
- A blog can be an article, but can also be from your personal perspective including first person.
- Content of general technology interest; should be accessible and easy to understand by an engineer in any area of expertise without being an introduction to additive manufacturing.
- Original, first run content. Our readers want to read things they haven’t seen before, so we prefer content that debuts on AdditiveManufacturing.com.
- Compelling visuals that add to the story.
- No sales pitches. Any blogs that contain a case study or other content that focuses on a vendor, will be considered sponsored content.
- Length should generally be 550 to 750 words.
