For any company, looking to dip their toes into metal 3D printing, it’s crucial to know which metals can be used with this technology today. From design to manufacturing, choosing the right materials ensures the highest possible standard for the

Additive manufacturing (AM) unlocks unprecedented design and production capabilities for functional parts. To harness this full potential, advanced design tools—particularly topology optimisation—are essential. Topology optimisation enables the creation of stronger, lighter components. This article

Above: AMFG’s AM Automation Software offers advanced tools for preparing and managing 3D printing workflows. Converting a CAD design into an STL file is a critical step in additive manufacturing. The STL format translates the geometry into a mesh of triangles that a printer can interpret to build a

79 % of manufacturers anticipate that their use of 3D printing for production parts will at least double within the next five years, according to a recent Jabil survey. Despite this rapid adoption, many firms still struggle to scale their additive manufacturing (AM) operations. Scaling AM inevitabl

When crafting an FDM part, the final appearance is just as vital as its functional performance. FDM is ideal for functional prototypes, low‑volume production, and concept models, but achieving a polished look requires deliberate post‑processing steps. In this guide we’ll walk through four proven me

In today’s Industry 4.0 landscape, additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly being paired with machine learning and artificial intelligence to create data‑driven processes that enhance production, improve quality, and streamline workflows.
