The best example of the application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing is found in the Aerospace industry, which produces potentially lighter and stronger parts than traditional manufacturing parts. The aerospace industry was a forerunner in 3D printing and contributed significantly to its development. Some aviation companies began using

3D Printing ESD Safe Parts in Manufacturing The manufacturers that make machines for other manufacturers keep the industry ticking along. Stephen Hawes’ company Opulo is a perfect example, making a ‘pick and place’ machine which grabs and deposits electronic components onto PCBs (printed circuit boards) for electronics manufacturers. The

You’ve probably already heard of SLA (stereolithography), a 3D printing process in which layers of liquid-resin are selectively cured solid with a laser. SLA is a mature technology that offers several advantages over FFF, including speed, flexibility, and precision. However, the biggest advantage is there is no mechanical print head
