I sat in on one and a half days of a five-day class offered at the Additive Manufacturing Institute of Science and Technology (AMIST) in Louisville. Here’s just some of what I learned.

PTI Engineered Plastics sees open possibilities in an alternate method of making mold tooling through AM.

Our hand-picked holiday gift guide for the Additive Manufacturers, Metalworkers, Machinists, Mold Makers, Processors, Welders, Finishers, Engineers and Makers in your life.

Exhibitors offering additive technologies to challenge conventional production was a striking development this year, though some of those technologies are not yet obtainable.

Additive manufacturing produced lighter, stronger vacuum grippers for robots on a food packaging line.

Definitely yes, says this shop—a metal 3D printed part is almost always a machined part as well, and an established machine shop is perhaps the best business to realize AM’s promise for production.

Four recent projects take on selective laser melting technology to improve part design, process speed, safety and flexibility.

Formnext 2023 showed that additive manufacturing may be maturing, but it is certainly not stagnant. In this episode, we dive into observations around technology enhancements, new processes and materials, robots, sustainability and more trends from the show. 

Additive manufacturing can speed, strengthen and simplify industrial supply chains. How close are we to realizing this promise? Dr. Tim Simpson and Peter Zelinski discuss lead time, logistics and other factors on AM Radio.

This component for the oil and gas industry features a shelf through the lattice structure that does not appear in the CAD model. How did it get there? The answer does not involve STL, but we talk about that anyway.
