Medicine is a leading sector for innovative uses of 3D printing. The term “Medical 3D printing” refers to these innovations as an emerging area of technology that explores how 3D printing can be used to replace or support an existing biological struc...

Gears are probably one of the most common mechanical parts that one needs to build when creating a complex mechanical system. While the function itself is easy to understand, making a gear set that works is another thing. It requires some basic knowl...

Today additive manufacturing (AM) is a major player in the arts & entertainment industry. Every year AM steps forward into the spotlight a little bit more; it has changed the way costumes, props, and movie sets are built not to mention prototyping fo...

 LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a surveying technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser light, and today we meet Sweep the 3D printed scanner LiDAR for your drone. This technology is enhancing the robotics industry...

Space travel is long-time dream for humans. As children, we’d love to step foot on the moon…or even ride galaxies on sparkling spacecrafts. As grown-ups, we wait for the latest adventures of our Star Wars and Star Trek heroes to get our space excitem...

Unless you are currently working on the manufacturing sector, it may not come as your first thought the fact that 3D printing technologies are not only changing the rules for direct production i.e. 3D print your final object; but also as a complement...

The optical industry is one of the most exciting industries affected by additive manufacturing, as well as one of the oldest. The earliest known lenses were made from polished crystal in 750 BC and though we’ve seen upgrades to the industry over the ...

Connected devices are everywhere and when it’s not about your quantified self, your bike or your car, it definitely is about your home. The rise of those new products has been allowed by an easier access to prototyping technologies and the fact that ...

Human beings have always been fascinated with robotics, and it has been the basis of many science fiction movies. It seems to have recently recaptured the imaginations of the greatest fiction directors, and who knows, maybe in 10 years there will be ...

2015 was a paradoxical year for the fashion industry and 3D printing. Indeed, this year is a mix between disruptive applications (pushing the boundaries of 3D printing one step beyond) and in the meantime the use of 3D printed  accessory became a com...
