Additive Manufacturing is a media brand devoted to industrial applications of 3D printing and digital layering technology to make functional parts. We don’t cover 3D printing as it relates to making design models, movie props, sculpture or swimwear (sorry). Instead, we speak to a manufacturing audience. We are exploring the use of additive manufacturing to make tooling, molds and functional prototypes, along with the ultimate aim of manufacturers: end-use production parts. We report on the promise of additive manufacturing in these applications. We also report on the pitfalls. Staff members write about successes with additive manufacturing and the hard roads that led to those successes. Visit our website to subscribe and follow us on LinkedIn for these stories. We want to hear from you, too. (Among other things, we’re always interested in story suggestions.) Get in touch with us on LinkedIn or contact us through our website. Additive Manufacturing is published by Gardner Business Media Inc.

There is nothing like a new idea, and Formnext - Where ideas take shape is the perfect place for those according to Kristin Mulherin, Director of Additive Manufacturing Technology Hubbell Incorporated and President of Women in 3D Printing. She sat down with Debbie Holton to discuss those ideas and how important they are to the industry and how we'll find them at Formnext Chicago as well. Watch the full conversation here:

It's called Hìtëkw — the Lenape term for “tree” — and it's the tennis racket with a branchlike 3D printed frame. All Design Lab co-founders Anthony Saul Lopez and Andrew Lim collaborated with Protolabs application engineer Chloe V. to produce the racket using DMLS. 🎾 Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/g3uAAcxv 🎾 GE Additive ____ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #DMLS #tennis #tennisracket #sportinggoods
Machining can be an obstacle in the quest for “first-time right” 3D printing — designers need to ensure parts can be held in the machine tool, and that machines can access the features and critical surfaces that need to be machined. Here are five features designed with machining in mind on the pictured 3D printed part: https://lnkd.in/g8FAXrhY _____ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #machining #CNC #digitalthread #milling #buildplate
Soft robotics could make it easier to automate machine tending of 3D printers without having to change grippers or reprogram the system. Julia Hider tells more here: https://lnkd.in/givhADMN _____ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #robotics #automation #softrobotics #AI #EOAT
A lot can happen in six years. A lot HAS happened in the six years since the last NPE: The Plastics Show — and we've invested in covering the ways industrial 3D printing has progressed in that time, including the developments that have advanced the plastics industry. Additive Manufacturing Media will be on-site at NPE covering the new ways plastics manufacturers are finding success with 3D printing. You can follow along with our coverage at #COVEREDinPT. Then, check our channels for our post-show videos, articles and photos. If you're attending NPE and want to hear those 3D printing success stories firsthand, check out our 3D Printing for Plastics Processors Workshop: https://lnkd.in/gBCjmHCa And, don't miss The Cool Parts Show display at our booth where we'll have very cool 3D printed parts that have been featured on the show. Our booth details are here: https://lnkd.in/gB-3fpxf So, if you're a molder, a toolmaker, an OEM...if you're curious about bridge production and metal replacement...if you want to know how 3D printing can support your moldmaking — we have you covered! 🙌 Plastics Technology, MoldMaking Technology 🙌 #COVEREDinPT #NPE2024 #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing
Since the invention of the electron beam, various industries have utilized the technology for microscopy, welding and other applications. One of those applications has been for #additivemanufacturing with the electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF) process — which to this day has been constantly improved and optimized for production applications. Jonathan Buckley of JEOL USA will provide an overview of the current capabilities of electron beam powder bed fusion along with several new innovations that will enhance the capabilities of manufacturers.

Renishaw was ready for their close up at Formnext - Where ideas take shape in 2023 where they debuted their RenAM 500Q Ultra system. Travis Egan sat down with John Laureto AM Americas Business Manager at Renishaw to discuss the new tech and their excitement for Formnext Chicago!
Sometimes Cool Parts travel to us. Other times we travel to them. #TheCoolPartsShow team traveled back to HQ after a multi-day site visit. Stay tuned to see where and what we filmed. ___ #coolparts #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting
As laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machines get larger, they introduce new challenges when it comes to the ergonomics and economics of 3D printing metal parts from powder. 💪 💰 Stephanie Hendrixson explains: https://lnkd.in/gt6j8Tnt ___ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #LPBF #metal3Dprinting #metalpowder
