[caption id="attachment_6051" align="alignright" width="300"] Duncan McCallum, Digital Alloys CEO[/caption] The rise in metal 3D printing in the last year has been well documented. With new players entering the market at a rapid speed, Digital Alloys is one company contributing to this evolution. Founded in ...

As we've previously seen, 3D printing is rapidly expanding beyond prototyping into production. However, this transition is not without its challenges, with process repeatability and quality assurance being two issues cited by many manufacturers. It’s therefore unsurprising that manufacturers are looking for ways ...

When it comes to 3D printing, bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. That said, large-scale 3D printing systems do offer unique manufacturing solutions that smaller systems cannot achieve. They can, for example, produce large prototypes and parts and even multiple series of smaller parts ...

One of the biggest trends in additive manufacturing over the last decade has been the move from rapid prototyping to production. While 3D printing is still commonly thought of as a niche rapid prototyping solution, the technology’s move from prototyping to end-use parts ...

Autumn is almost upon us, which means the world of 3D printing is gearing up for this year’s TCT Show — the UK’s leading additive manufacturing trade show and conference programme.   From 25 to 27 September, nearly 300 industry leaders - including AMFG ...

Whether it’s from the world of startups or well-established OEMs, companies are pushing the boundaries of what is possible with 3d printing. From design complexity to shorter lead times industrial 3D printing provides innovative soolutions to real-world applications - which partly explains ...

Rapid prototyping has, since its inception, been one of the main advantages of additive manufacturing. While prototypes could take days, weeks or even months using earlier technologies, with additive manufacturing, prototypes can be produced virtually overnight, speeding up the product design and development ...

In our new series examining the impact of artificial intelligence across different industries, today we'll be looking at how advances in AI could help aerospace companies better optimise their manufacturing processes.    According to a recent Accenture report, 80% of leading executives within the aerospace and ...

Metal 3D printing has seen rapid growth over the last year, according to this year's Wohlers Report. While not every industrial application lends itself to the technology, there are several cases in which metal 3D printing may well be the right manufacturing choice. ...

Material and part inspection is a vital stage in the additive manufacturing process - and yet it is not without its challenges. For applications within the aerospace, medical or automotive industries in particular,  it's crucial to ensure that a part meets perfection, with ...
