ExOne has qualified a new application for its 3D printing technology.
Read MorePrecision Without Deposition
Is it possible to 3D print with carbon fiber fabric? It is, except that “printing” is not the right word. This additive process builds parts by stacking the carbon fiber sheets. The result is composite parts that don’t need tooling—but are strong enough that they could be used as tooling.
Read MoreOne-Offs Without Tradeoffs
Does it have to be expensive to produce a one-off part? Does the one-off have to fall short of the manufactured part’s properties? A Boston-area 3D printer maker has an idea for how to produce components that are both low quantity and industrial quality.

In addition to the geometric freedom, additive manufacturing also provides the freedom to use metals that would be difficult to apply another way. Deka Research & Development is exploring both freedoms as it seeks to create a power source that could improve the lives of people around the world.
Read MoreOne Week to Take Additive Manufacturing Further
A 5-day advanced course at the new Additive Manufacturing Competency Center is aimed at quickly advancing the knowledge and effectiveness of current AM users.
Read More3D-Printed Tooling Speeds Manufacturing of Cutting Tools
Knight Carbide's insert delivery times had to wait on custom tooling, so they acquired a Mojo desktop 3D printer from Stratasys to make their own. Lead times for insert carriers were shortened from weeks to just six hours.
