Welcome to our 12th and final ebook of 2020! In the following publication, we look back on the additive manufacturing industry’s evolution over the past year and look forward to what 2021 will bring. 2020 has, on the whole, been a bad year. But it has also been an eye-opening…

Making the most of additive manufacturing (AM) is not only about installing the technology. As with anything, the deeper the knowledge of the process, the more one can get out of it and the more applications can be developed. AM experts and application engineers are thus in a unique position,…

In our penultimate eBook of 2020, we are highlighting a still evolving but disruptive and highly innovative area of additive manufacturing: construction.  The construction 3D printing segment is a true testament to the versatility and unlimited potential of additive, not only because it is so vastly different from other segments…

A paper released by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Work of the Future department encourages industrial training in additive manufacturing. Major American news sources have picked up the story, which bodes well for the AM industry. The policy paper reviews AM technology and its future impacts on the…

In our tenth eBook, we dive into one of the most interesting and valuable areas of the additive manufacturing industry: metal.  Metal AM is a broad and diverse topic and in this publication we have done our best to represent this versatility, starting by focusing on hardware technologies, before moving…

There is a lot to smile about when talking about 3D printing and the dental industry. The dental market was the first to truly utilize additive manufacturing for the production of end-use parts and today it is one of the segments which has most broadly adopted the technology. Read Now…

Over the past several months, we have covered many areas of the additive manufacturing industry in our eBook publications, from automotive and aerospace to medical and materials. In this edition, our eighth AM Focus eBook, we dive into the topic of AM Service Providers. Service bureaus play a fundamental role…

This new publication, our seventh AM Focus eBook edition, delves into a theme that spans the additive manufacturing industry (and manufacturing on the whole) and is at the core of the technology’s industrialization: Automation. Automation is a necessary step in additive manufacturing’s journey towards industrialization, and plays a significant role…

This is, admittedly, one of the strangest times to be discussing the latest of the aerospace industry. We are at an interesting juncture, to say the least: one in which the commercial aviation industry is virtually at a standstill due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, but the space launch industry is…

Standards organization ASTM International and America Makes have compiled and released a strategic guide for additive manufacturing data that identifies gaps, challenges, solutions and action plans. Published by ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE), the guide consists of content derived from a workshop on AM data management…
