Additive Manufacturing Resources

The articles compiled in this special digital issue focus on how vendors are reacting to the need to digitize the factory floor and connect it all the way back through the enterprise to front-end product design and development.

In this webinar, Kevin Gautier, Channel Application Engineer at Formlabs, will walk you through the SLA 3D printing process from initial concept in CAD to finished physical part and share a range of applications you can use with our Engineering...

There's no question that metal AM technology has arrived at the point where it's a viable production alternative for companies of all sizes, across many industries. Manufacturers just need to do the proper due diligence to ensure they choose the...

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...

For years designers and engineers have worked in 3D modeling and simulation applications with immersive, photorealistic visuals that can mimic reality. The affordable AR-VR gears and hardware that have recently emerged promise to bring the missing piece—a sense of...

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...

Join this webinar to learn about HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing’s process, including some of the advantages of using this disruptive technology for manufacturing aids and how it can help improve production line efficiency. You'll hear about actual use...

A fully immersive virtual design engineering software user interface may await in the future, but many immersive design technologies are already reality. We’ve collected some of DE’s coverage of AR, VR, advanced rendering and simulation visualization in this...

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.
