Using composites to replace metal parts in Additive Manufacturing: when and how?

Metal 3D printing has proven so many times its efficiency across applications that it’s almost always mentioned as the route to go in demanding applications. One key limitation experts often deplore is its expensive...

Focus: Thermwood gives hope for the future of recycling, demonstrates superior printed part quality with “Thermal Sensor Layer Automation”

This year’s Rapid + TCT conference in Chicago featured a range of machines and parts, from huge robotic AM machines to the nearly microscopic printed metal pieces used for hearing aids. However, one installation...

Thermwood’s Cut Layer Additive machine is intriguing, as it produces parts that “are similar to large additively printed parts.” Here is how.

An example of application that the machine can deliver, includes a 12-foot-long (3.6m) aerospace tool for the incredibly low material cost of $2,000, in less time than it took to additively print the same...

A look at the strategy that enables General Atomics Aeronautical Systems to reach beyond 75% of 3D printed parts in an aircraft.

With millions of dollars already saved in tooling, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) shares the lessons-learned of their journey with industrial Additive Manufacturing. A meaningful example of their story relates to the completion...

[ FOCUS – Thermwood ]: The arguments that would play to the strengths of LSAM when it comes to sustainability

While we take great care not to use the buzzword “sustainability” without key data, we do recognize that it will take time for OEMs and AM users to provide quantitative analysis that demonstrates how...
