The collaboration will support 3D printing for industrial tooling in North America. 

Can 3D printing produce a useful, functional part? The answer is, unequivocally, yes. Editors discuss where and when AM makes sense in this video. 

By making launch vehicles more efficient and easier to manufacture, AM lets small companies play a significant role in space. Here is a conversation with an aspiring startup.

Design and 3D printing must inform each other, but keeping them under separate ownership can benefit the designer, the producer and the consumer. More in this podcast episode. 

The company's investment in additive manufacturing equipment includes the Xline 2000R, said to be the largest powder-bed metal AM system available.

Locomotive manufacturer Wabtec is the first tenant of Pittsburgh’s N91 additive manufacturing ecosystem, where the company is ramping up production via laser powder bed fusion.

Powder-bed fusion is driving the hype for additive manufacturing right now, but it may not be the best answer. Directed energy deposition is a strong contender.

Formetrix’s L-40 for powder bed fusion 3D printing enables complex mold geometries at efficient print speeds, with low risk of cracking.

An unconventional lattice design and biomimicry are key to the performance of this fluid-cooled heat exchanger for a battery-powered race car. 

Topology optimization and additive manufacturing go together. The complex, organic form that might be the most material-efficient choice for a part generally cannot be produced conventionally. However, additive manufacturing puts optimal forms within reach.
