3D-printing objects with colloidal inks is another example of how materials expand the boundaries of additive manufacturing.

The last two years, 3D printing’s ability to quickly produce PPE, medical devices, and industrial components needed by manufacturers has raised the technology’s profile.

In mid-March, blogger Kip Hanson wrote about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the use of 3D printing in modern warfare. He expands on those subjects in a new blog.

Calling all additive manufacturing experts: The 3D-printing industry needs a bible. Get writing.

How a desktop 3D printer for the consumer market from MakerBot called Thing-O-Matic has helped change the perception of 3D printing.

Blogger Kip Hanson reviews some of the ways 3D printing impacts war—and peace.

Simulation provides smaller manufacturing companies opportunities to increase their performance and meet the daunting demands of rapidly introducing new products and technologies, reducing costs, and raising quality.

Record numbers of electric vehicles, like the recently launched YOYO, are being built. In November 2021, global sales of EVs topped 720,000—a 72% year-over-year increase.

Duct tape, the universal fix-it option for do-it-yourselfers everywhere, is no substitute for a 3D-printed, bespoke part.

3D printing continues to break the rules of conventional manufacturing by allowing production of ‘ridiculously petite’ parts.

Most people in manufacturing are familiar with the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution,’ but few are sure why they need Industry 4.0, what it is, or how to define it.

Scientists are a long ways from building “replicators,” but that doesn’t mean that one day they won’t.

When Industry 5.0 eventually becomes a reality, additive manufacturing must play a key role, writes Kip Hanson.
