We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...

There’s now an alternative: Split3r. This new software, developed by France-based Qualup SAS, provides automated part ...

Poor orientation can lead to weak spots, rough surfaces, warping, or excessive support structures. A well-chosen orientation, on the other hand, improves structural performance, visual finish, and ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research. Researchers at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials ...
