3D printing applications are numerous. But what to make with a 3D printer, exactly? You really might be surprised by all the applications of additive manufacturing and the diversity of industries using the 3D printing technology. If you are new with ...

When you create an object with 3D printing, you want it to be perfect, to have the highest surface quality and to be as much resistant as possible. Since the 3D printing technology is building the final object layer-by-layer, the surface of the 3D pr...

One of the main concerns of our customers is the 3D printing cost. Indeed, using the 3D printing technology may be a quite expensive manufacturing choice if you don’t know all the best tips on how to optimize your 3D printing cost. On the other hand,...

The Additive Manufacturing field is progressing really fast and everyday researchers and scientist are coming up with various 3D printing innovations. There are currently so many 3D printing materials, technologies and finishes that it is impossible ...

Additive Manufacturing is about using a single material for creating complex shapes and “impossible” geometries. While designers and scientists are focused on optimizing the 3D printing process in terms of design and manufacturing with a given range ...

Construction 3D printing is a real challenge, but 3D printing structures at an architectural scale tend to be more and more doable. A lot of new 3D printers are arriving on the market each year, always faster and more powerful. As we saw in our revie...

A few weeks ago we announced two new options for finishing your 3D printed parts made of plastic: “Color Touch” and “Color Resist” finishes. We are glad to see that our customers really enjoyed these finishes since we launched them on our online 3D p...

Thanks to our annual 3D printing report, we know that plastic, resins and metal are the most used 3D printing materials. Though, it is not everything about 3D printing with plastic or 3D printing with metal. The Additive Manufacturing industry is bec...

  The possibilities that metal 3D printing provides are endless. Many industries like medical, dental, jewelry, aeronautics, aerospace and defense use metal 3D printing for their applications because of the benefits that it brings. You may know that ...

Recently we talked about our waterproof plastic finish, Smoothing Beautifier, which can be applied on plastic parts if you want them to be waterproof. But what about the water qualities of Nylon PA 12 and HP Multi Jet Fusion? In this blog post, we ar...
