Compared to machining and other traditional metalworking processes, additive manufacturing (AM) is a newcomer. Most industry experts trace its birth to 1987, when Chuck Hull of 3D Systems fame introduced the first commercially available stereolithography machine, the SLA-1.

Additive manufacturing, or 3-dimensional (3D) printing, continues to rapidly develop across a number of industries.

Lawyers, doctors, engineers, and regulators all must converse to advance 3D printing in medicine.

By now, most of us in the manufacturing world are familiar with the steady stream of news describing organizations, large and small, providing medical equipment using 3D printers.

An executive at HP Inc. talked to SME Media about the state of the company's 3D printing business, including how recent announcements are intended to boost the operation.

3D printing is as much about the software as it is about the unique technology of the printers, and a well-designed platform brings the power of agile software engineering to the world of industrial manufacturing.

The key in other tooling applications is to find a space where our materials provide extra value beyond other printers.

3D Systems said it has achieved progress in the creation of the world’s largest, fastest most precise powder metal 3D printer.

From Copper to Filaments, engineers are developing new materials for 3D printing, advancing its practical use. In February, Markforged, Watertown, Mass., commercialized a pure copper filament for its printers so they can use this hard-to-machine metal.

The industry standard for 3D printing metal surfaces [without supports] is 45o, as measured from the horizontal plane. That’s what most printers are capable of achieving without supports.
