At the trade fair Oceanology International in London (10 to 12 March), the British industrial services provider 3D People aims to demonstrate how polymer-based additive manufacturing has now established itself…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (399+ words) Many manufacturing companies are investing in digitalization, yet the step from the CAD model to the ordered component often remains surprisingly analog. According to Deloitte's "Manufacturing Outlook 2025" report, 98 percent of manufacturing companies worldwide have started a digital transformation, while on…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (198+ words) The laser provides short, high-intensity pulses for this; the focal point is moved freely through the resin via high-performance optics. As a demonstrator, UpNano printed a multi-story castle on the tip of a pencil, including delicate columns. The column thickness…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (314+ words) In many development departments today, a plastics product begins with 3D printing: prototypes made from photopolymer or PA12 from a powder bed serve as functional samples before the design is transferred into an injection-molded part. A new three-day training course from the…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (503+ words) By the SMARTTECH3D Team Measuring the world around us has evolved from simple hand tools to sophisticated optical 3Dtechnology. Whether it is documenting a delicate museum artifact or ensuring an engine component is built to within a few microns of its design,…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (351+ words) After 3D printing, post-processing often determines dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, and readiness for serial production. This is exactly where R'sler UK comes in, having installed a new cobot cell at its Customer Experience Centre (CEC) in Knowsley. The collaborative robot from…...

The target users are engineering and procurement teams sourcing prototypes and production parts across multiple processes. The company promises an…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (372+ words) A team from Tsinghua University in China has presented a new process for volumetric 3D printing. It is called Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic Light Fields, or DISH for short. In tests, the system produced millimeter-sized, complex structures in 0.6 seconds. The…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (412+ words) Robot-based and large-format additive manufacturing has made visible progress in recent years. More powerful systems, more sophisticated software, and new materials make many things easier. In practice, however, typical friction losses remain. Design decisions cannot always be cleanly translated into…...
