The more we witness new developments enabled by Additive Manufacturing (AM), the more our wording evolves. At this stage of the technology maturity, we, at 3D ADEPT Media, do not believe one should still qualify the technology as a “new” one. We should rather continuously assess what might come next in this field.
This July/August 2024 edition of 3D ADEPT Mag explores topics including ultrasonic AM, design automation and antimicrobial additives. It also considers AM applications in mobility and business questions around emerging solutions such as AI.
This selection brings together technical features, interviews and industry perspectives for readers at different stages of their AM work.
Exclusive features
DOSSIER | Ultrasonic usage in AM: “Ultrasonic and AM” vs “Ultrasonic AM”
Ultrasound can have different roles in additive manufacturing. This feature distinguishes ultrasonic additive manufacturing as a process from other uses of ultrasound alongside AM technologies.
Post-processing | The use of 3D scanning in Additive Manufacturing
3D scanning captures the geometry of a physical subject in a digital environment. Scan data can support visualization, analysis and additive manufacturing. This feature examines considerations for using 3D scanning in an AM workflow.
Exclusive Insight | Extreme bike tuner steers into the future with 3D printing
Extreme bike tuner Dangerholm makes science fiction rideable. His idea of the bike of the future poses challenges for manufacturers. But together with TRUMPF and the TruPrint metal 3D printers, a prototype was ready to ride at Eurobike 2024.
FOCUS | How Evonik’s use of LCA helps deliver a strong sustainable INFINAM® eCO line for the AM industry
This conversation with Evonik examines how the materials producer uses life cycle assessment (LCA) in the development of its INFINAM® eCO line. LCA can inform a circular-economy strategy; results depend on the system boundaries, assumptions and data used.
Q&A | BMF on the current state of the micro 3D printing market and where it is headed for.
John Kawola, CEO of Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) at publication, answers technical questions about the micro 3D printing market and its development.
Business | When European manufacturers are optimistic about AI but struggle with implementation
The 2024 AI in European Manufacturing Report examines adoption, expected benefits and implementation challenges. This article considers the gap between manufacturers’ ambitions and their practical use of AI.
