News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
3D printing service Shapeways announced its latest initiative, an e-commerce integration partnership with Etsy. The collaboration will benefit users on both ends: Etsy shops will be able to manage 3D printed orders directly through Shapeways, while Shapeways users will now be able to easily establish their own Etsy shops and import their Shapeways products to the e-commerce platform.
NASA technicians and engineers have qualified 3D printing technologies to help in the creation of tailored thermal protection systems for the Space Launch System. The new deep space rocket must be able to endure extreme conditions and temperatures when it launches NASA’s Orion spacecraft and cargo into lunar orbit—3D printed molds could help achieve this needed resistance.
As a key 3D printing technology, SLM metal printing technology continues to gain the attention of s ...
AP&C Advanced Powders & Coatings, a GE Additive-owned manufacturer of metal powders for additive manufacturing, has announced it will be expanding its operations in the Greater Montreal area. As part of the expansion, the Canadian company will increase its production capacity and support the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies.
French manufacturer of high-resolution 3D microprinting technologies Microlight3D has acquired Smart Force Technologies (SFT), a France-based producer of maskless lithography systems for micro-scale 2D printing. The acquisition will enable Microlight3D to add 2D printing capabilities to its microprinting portfolio.
We began reviewing 3D printers when the market thought these hardware products could truly appeal to a wide consumer demographic. That proved not to be the case, as 3D printers proved too costly and too hard to operate for most people, including the author of this piece. While the hype (fortunately) is not as high as it used to be, our Ortur 4 review shows that 3D printers are now truly within everyone reach and that anyone can use them, including the author of this piece (who does cover the global AM industry as a journalist and analyst but can be considered a consumer when it comes to actually 3D printing).

With the continuous deepening of research on additive manufacturing technology at home and abroad, ...
Fuller Moto is a leading automotive and motorcycle design and customization shop that inspires, educates and entertains those with a creative spirit and a do-it-yourself attitude. The Atlanta, Georgia-based company doesn’t just customize bikes but also educates and works with gear-heads, enthusiasts and hands-on builders. It is lead and inspired by Bryan Fuller, who is also a master builder, designer as well as a TV personality and author of how-to-build books through his own publishing company, Full-Bore Publishing. The latest project to emerge from this ideal company is the Fuller Moto 2029, a perfect blend of the how latest manufacturing technologies such as metal 3D printing can be used together with traditional metal craft.
Over the years we have witnessed a clear evolutionary trend in how 3D printing is used in product design. The clearest representations of these trends come from Milan Design Week, which is a city-wide collection of events taking place during the Milan Furniture Fair (Salone del Mobile). Over the past few years, we have witnessed a clear trend toward using 3D printing to create larger and more complex architectural structures, rather than high-end design products. 3D Printing at Milan Design Week 2019 got even larger.
