Metal additive manufacturing has evolved tremendously since the early days of laser powder bed fusion in the 1990s. And we don’t even have to look that far back to see game-changing innovations in the segment: this past year alone has signaled that a new era in metal AM is here…

Welcome to 3dpbm’s latest AM Focus 2022 eBook on AM Services. 3D printing service providers hold a special significance in the world of additive manufacturing: not only were they the earliest adopters of 3D printing technologies, they have also been one of the main drivers of the industry’s growth over…

3dpbm, a leading market intelligence and media company supporting the global AM industry landscape presents the results of a comprehensive study on the polymer additive manufacturing segment. The study,  Polymer AM Market Opportunities and Trends 2020–2030, conducted between Q4 2021 and Q3 2022 collected information on sales and business activity…

All digital production inevitably begins with DfAM, or “Design for Additive Manufacturing”, an acronym that indicates all those new approaches to product and part creation that are made possible by additive manufacturing. The 3dpbm AM Software Focus 2022 eBook looks at how these are made possible by parametric and generative…

Sustainability is no longer a ‘trending topic’, it is an urgent goal that industries the world over must commit to. Within the manufacturing sphere, additive manufacturing already has something of a leg up since many aspects of the technology promote sustainability goals. For example, more lightweight and efficient part design…

Since the early days of additive manufacturing, the aerospace industry has been an important adopter. Adopter might not even be the best term, because the aerospace and AM industries have intersected in so many ways and evolved simultaneously: with aerospace companies investing significantly into AM technologies and accelerating their advancement…

Download In this publication, our fifth AM Focus eBook of 2022, we are looking at the state of production AM—that is to say, scalable, high-volume production—and large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM). Why the dual focus? It’s simple. Production and LFAM are both characterized by their large potential. Production AM is targeting…

In the additive manufacturing industry, advanced materials are really at the core of opening up new high-performance applications and increasing the value proposition of AM. Of course, AM technologies themselves are critical, but there is consensus in the industry and amongst adopters that materials—particularly advanced polymers—are instrumental to driving the…

The consumer market for additive manufacturing is one of the most varied and visible subsegments of the industry. And while today’s consumer AM applications may just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 3D printing’s potential, they are highly indicative of future trends. In this 3dpbm eBook,…

While still in its infancy, the bioprinting industry continues to capture the fascination and passion of both bioengineers and those of us who are just amazed by its promises. Which are great but also difficult to assess and keep track of. At 3dpbm we work to look at the state…
