Thanks to groundbreaking concepts such as generative design and topology optimization software, additive manufacturing is liberating design engineers in ways that were unfathomable even a decade ago.

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.

Additive manufacturing opens new dimensions for integrated design, development, and production. AM is an important technological innovation that helps companies break existing performance tradeoffs in ...

Challenges when dealing with high-power-density designs. Utilizing cloud manufacturing platforms (CMPs). Power packaging using additive manufacturing. Today’s designers are now more equipped to ...

Researchers from the University of West Attica have introduced a comprehensive framework that redefines how products are designed for additive manufacturing (3D printing). Published in Advanced ...

Additive manufacturing isn’t new. But as technologies have developed, users have been analyzing how additive compares to traditional processes, explains Sherri Monroe, executive director of the ...

Additive manufacturing has been around electronics since thick-film, screened hybrids came on the scene more than 30 years ago. And while those never quite went away, they never gained the prominence ...

According to the consultancy MarketsandMarkets, aerospace firms will be using additive manufacturing (AM) to make more than $3 billion in parts by 2022, up from a bit over $700 million in 2017.
