About the coming years of additive manufacturing. An overview from the leading trade fair.

Increasing the lifespan of any production line by 3D modeling old, out-of-production spare parts.

Is 3D printing a valid choice for complex parts only?

Busting some die hard myths about 3D printing.

Self-supporting flow channels and holes.

Previously assembled from separate parts, with 3D printing completed with a single print.

Topology optimisation in product design.

More balanced and sustainable supply chain through local additive manufacturing.

In need of a way to produce a product for tough industrial environments Outotec turned to 3D printing.

The better the design, the better the outcome.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing & 3D printing technique best known for printing rapid prototypes and end products.

3D printing has gradually established its presence in spare part mass production.

The cost for a single part depends on many things. Design, materials and post processing are the key factors for pricing.

SLM is a form of additive manufacturing and 3D printing developed specifically for printing metal alloys.

The process is based on hardening of photopolymers on exposure to ultraviolet light.

This article features common guidelines for designing parts and components for SLS printing technique.
