3D Printing Resources

Henry Ford may not have invented the automobile, but his pioneering spirit did transform the way cars were made. His assembly line process drastically reduced costs with standardized parts and greater efficiency which led to lower cost, higher quality and...

Every year, about 3,000 new consumer goods are launched globally, one 30-minute shopping trip exposes a consumer to more than 20,000 product choices.

The cost of running an additive manufacturing metal 3D printer, on average, is estimated to be around $100 per hour, and a single build can take upwards of 20 hours—or closer to 80 hours for highly complex parts. That's $2,000 to $8,000 wasted every...

The use of simulation in A&D has evolved from early experimentation to become a critical part of the product design and development cycle, so much so that the sheer amount of simulation data has become a management challenge. Companies...

Hear customer use cases from Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defense and Space, and the European Space Agency in this webinar. Learn how the integrated combination of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) software, advanced metal additive manufacturing, and thoroughly developed metal...

Design engineers developing consumer electronics were some of the first to arrive at the intersection of hardware, electronics, software and aesthetics. That intersection has since become jammed with engineers from various disciplines trying to navigate their way through an ever-changing...

3D printing spare parts offers efficiencies over traditional manufacturing. Historically, manufacturers anticipated what they required in spare parts over the course of years, maybe even decades, produced those volumes, then stored and distributed parts as needed. If inventory ran out,...

This research brief examines adoption rates and challenges to increased adoption, along with the capabilities and characteristics design engineering teams find important when evaluating 3D printers.
