Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

No matter how technologies change, or what new innovations break into the mainstream, the basic goals of manufacturing remain the same: Reduce unplanned downtime, reduce costs, eliminate unnecessary ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

B radley Rothenberg, cofounder and CEO of nTopology, is building next generation design software that relies on mathematical computations to create 3D-printed parts and products that are lighter and ...

See some of the production parts now produced by 3D printing. How Ford and Nissan are using 3D printing as part of their sustainability strategy. Learn how 3D printing is being used to produce ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

I bought a 3D printer a few years ago, primarily with the aim of printing functional items to use around the house. It has served that purpose extremely well and has even helped me save a few bucks ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

The Elegoo Centauri Carbon is a cool-looking 3D printer you can get for $300. I’d never run a 3D printer in my life before this thing showed up at my shop, and I had a few significant hiccups getting ...

VW has been working with HP and Siemens to scale up 3D metal printing processes to make car parts. Metallic 3D-printed parts weigh half as much as those produced from sheet steel, allowing the ...

3D printing takes another step into automotive production with the collaboration of HP Japan, DMM.com, and Subaru. The additive manufactured car parts were produced using HP Japan’s Jet Fusion 3D ...
