Additive Talks | Closer, faster, certified: Where does (distributed) AM stand in aerospace & defense today?
An aircraft is grounded. A critical component is obsolete. The original supplier no longer exists. In aerospace and defense, these scenarios are operational realities...
Dossier | Silicon Carbide in AM: What’s holding back SSiC—and propelling SiSiC forward?
As part of our ongoing efforts to spotlight solutions that support the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) in electric vehicle (EV) applications, we stumbled...
Ceramic 3D printing sets a new production standard. XJet shows how one industry at a time
Somewhere in a cleanroom in Ohio, USA, spinal implants are being 3D printed in technical ceramics. Elsewhere in Switzerland, watch components are being printed...
Closing the gap between simulation and manufacturing in Large-Format AM
