From the Workshop

We compare HIPS and carbon fiber reinforced filament in terms of rigidity, impact resistance, outdoor use, printability, and overall cost logic.

Sumitomo Chemical and Gutenberg have developed joint technology to bring LCP filament designed for high heat and dimensional stability to FFF printing.

Stratasys's new large-format F870 FDM printer is now being used at Toyota and Rivian facilities, highlighting FDM's role in in-house factory fixtures and production aids.

Stanford researchers are using 3D printing and advanced design methods to improve American football helmet safety, highlighting the role of additive manufacturing in impact-focused prototyping.

Prepare more efficient FDM prints in Cura by assigning different infill, wall, speed, and support values to separate parts on the same build plate.

Formnext Asia Shenzhen 2026 saw attendance rise by 65% and international participation by 157%, providing an important industry signal about additive manufacturing’s visibility in the production [...]

PLA is used for rigid, easy-to-print main parts, while PVA provides water-soluble support for complex FDM geometries. We compare when each option makes sense.

EWI has been selected as the lead organization for America Makes and NCDMM’s $13.2 million INSITE project, which combines real-time process monitoring with quality assessment to support the [...]

A DNV-qualified polymer 3D-printed part for corrosion-prone valve handwheels on oil and gas platforms offers a new model for digital inventory and spare-part production.

We compare the differences and strengths of Mainsail and Fluidd for FDM 3D printers using Klipper, and explain which interface is better suited to each user.
