The medical sector is benefiting greatly from advances in additive manufacturing. Thanks to the ability to create unique models for each patient, personalized medicine is finally becoming a reality. Medical implants represent a particularly sensitive field, as they involve the…

3D printing is becoming increasingly important in medicine and has now also taken on an important role in ophthalmology. One example is 3D-printed glasses, which can be perfectly adapted to the needs and wishes of patients. But it’s not just…

Metal 3D printing is one of the fastest growing sectors in additive manufacturing. According to a report from IDTechEx, metal 3D printing will be valued at $18B by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 18.8% . Moreover, we have seen…

3D printing is gradually overturning traditional production methods in many industrial sectors. Among the most innovative techniques is electron beam melting, better known as EBM. This process uses a high-energy electron beam to melt metal powders such as titanium or…

A laser engraver is a machine that reproduces a shape (symbol, photo, logo, etc.) on a variety of materials using a heat source – a laser in this case. In concrete terms, the laser heats up wood, metal, leather or…

3D printing is no longer exclusively used in the development of prototypes, rather it is increasingly used for end-use parts. Although its viability in large-scale manufacturing has sometimes been questioned due to costs and production times, this perception is changing.…

The number of 3D printers on the market has increased exponentially in recent years, giving anyone access to machines of different brands and price ranges available, making a wide range of printing technologies accessible, including FDM, SLA, SLS, and PBF.…

As you may know, additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important in the construction market. The new technologies make it possible to create more complex shapes, build walls faster, and reduce labor costs. Many construction companies have already started to 3D…

In the 3D printing sector, manufacturers are increasingly looking for composite materials because they offer more interesting mechanical properties, particularly in terms of resistance. Here, the material in question, includes a “matrix” (most often a thermoplastic) that is reinforced with…

TCT Asia 2025 has wrapped up, but there’s still plenty to talk about! As one of the biggest additive manufacturing events in Asia, this year’s edition showcased some of the industry’s most innovative 3D printing applications. Our team at 3Dnatives…

Topology optimization is a process that aims to achieve reduce a part to its most minimal possible geometry. To do this, an initial concept of a part is optimized using computer-based calculations so that less material is required for its…

As defined by UNESCO, cultural heritage encompasses artifacts, monuments, sites and museums that hold significant value, whether symbolic, artistic, aesthetic or social. These can be thought of as the objects and areas that help define who we are as a…
