Additive Manufacturing (AM)
AM showcases the latest technology and industry developments with in-depth case studies, resources, interviews with experts and events.
The benefits of metal additive manufacturing (AM) are well documented in the medical and aerospace industries, where high-value, complex designs often find success. The naval shipbuilding industry also has an immense opportunity to impact timely delivery of quality hardware using Metal AM. As one example, HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding division anticipates up to 75 percent […]
The insertion of ear tubes is a common pediatric procedure and the primary reason for exposure to general anesthesia in children under three years old. Full anesthesia comes with many side effects for patients and requires booking an operating room, which drives costs up. Preceptis wanted to broaden the options available to ENT (ear, nose, […]
Dive into the ins and outs of true silicone 3D printing. See how you can additively manufacture prototypes or production parts with complex, organic geometries in silicone. Using 20-60A durometer silicone, smooth, watertight, biocompatible, and durable parts can be achieved. This silicone material is ideal for high-detail 3D-printed elastomeric parts—a go to for industries from […]
Unlocking the Full Potential of Additive Manufacturing There is well-established industry expertise around designing for outdated machining processes, but advances in additive manufacturing technologies have introduced new challenges in design. Our ability to print complex geometries has outpaced our ability to design them. Using computational methods instead of traditional methods has allowed us to meet the specific […]
The design optimization capability of additive manufacturing can dramatically boost the efficiency of carbon capture technologies. Now that we are more than two decades into the current century, the importance of combatting climate change is accelerating. Carbon neutral is not enough. Carbon negative infrastructure is required to solve the problem. It has become apparent that […]
Imagine 3D printing a part and hearing ‘oops’ from your operator or engineer. What’s the first thing that goes through your mind? "How much is this going to cost us?" Whether you’re producing parts out of plastic, resin, or metal, the cost fluctuates, especially with metal additive printing. So, how do you solve the ‘oops’ […]
