In the article below, Alicia Rennoll discusses the environmental impact of Additive Manufacturing in the aerospace industry and highlights a hybrid approach that would enable to make aerospace manufacturing more sustainable.
Aviation has a disproportionate impact on climate change which...
In the digital-design-engineering world, there’s an urgent opportunity, right now, to fully exploit the tools of computer-aided engineering (CFD, FEA, electromagnetic simulation and more) using the capabilities of AI. Yes, we’re talking about design optimization—but it’s optimization automated with...
As explained before, one vertical industry where ceramic 3D printing is making great strides is the healthcare industry. Surprisingly, while implants constitute one of the largest use cases for technical ceramics, all of them are not given the same...
RAPID + TCT is one of North America’s biggest trade shows and conferences for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. This year, IDTechEx attended and spoke at the show; they interviewed prominent players and observed industry trends. While RAPID +...
Like other technologies that rely on digital data, there is a potential threat and the risk of data breaches in Additive Manufacturing. These data breaches could wreak havoc on the entire process and compromise the security and integrity of...
The use of metal additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, allowing for the creation of complex and intricate parts in a faster and more cost-effective manner. However, essential post processing of these parts introduces time and financial...
The aerospace industry is continuously evolving, and the introduction of additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionised the industry. AM is rapidly revolutionising the aerospace, defence, and space sectors, and is transforming how products are designed, manufactured, and supplied. It has...
Andreas Falk, COO of Erler Zimmer, an expert company in anatomical model-making, discusses the use of 3D printing and how it has helped propel medical education.
