Choosing the right 3D modeling software for your project can be really difficult. Today we are going to help you with this! Do you know Fusion 360 and Solidworks? They are two really complete and powerful 3D modeling programs, which could help you wi...

  There is a lot of new developments in the field of materials for Additive Manufacturing uses, from 3D printing with Glass or Cellulose to the world’s strongest material Graphene. We will actually talk about the latter one again as it’s not only the...

Do you remember the Kupol project? We already talked about this 3D printed helmet developed by Gabriel Boutin on our blog. We told you about the prototyping process of this great project using this 3D printing technology. Now, the Kickstarter campaig...

  It this blog post we will talk about the most commonly used 3D printer file formats. As the choices are numerous it is essential for you to know what are your production needs. Are all the 3D file formats printable? And which 3D printer file format...

Sometimes 3D printing is mistaken for being just a hobby, but it actually has a huge impact on different industries and is being used more and more. With Additive Manufacturing we can already 3D print organs, bones, but also mechanical parts for cars...

A lot of CAD (computer aided design) software are available on the market. These 3D programs could really help you in your daily work for various purposes: from visualization, simulation to 3D printing, the benefits of CAD programs are numerous. We k...

3D printing is more and more used in the medical sector, and it is clearly helping to save lives. We are often hearing stories about the 3D technology improving the lives of the patients, and 3D printing in pediatrics can obviously change some kids l...

3D printing is well used for architecture. We can see that 3D printed houses are becoming a reality and that 3D printing could become a common manufacturing technique in architecture. Additive manufacturing can also be used for other application in t...

Do you know that 3D printing has been created by three French researchers? Indeed, Jean-Claude André, Alain le Méhauté and Olivier de Witte registered the first patent for this game-changing technology in 1984, but everything didn’t go as expected, a...

With 3D printing technologies, the design freedom is just endless. Additive Manufacturing allows for the absolutely new use of design tools, such as interlocking tools. Thanks to 3D printing you are not able to combine different technologies and mate...

3D printing is constantly evolving, new 3D printers, new 3D printing materials are unveiled regularly. Today, we chose to talk about a brand new 3D printing material that might surprise you: a vegetal 3D printing material. Discoveries made in the add...

Additive Manufacturing is a cutting-edge technology already, producing 3d printed hearts and turning light into electricity, but there is always room for improvement. And what if we can improve both the materials and the impact we have on our environ...
