Agility Through 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing capability has helped this shop stay flexible, in both the prototyping and moldmaking parts of its business.
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.

It’s not just for prototyping. Additive manufacturing can help with the manufacturing side of your business as well.
Read More3D Printing’s Expanding Role
By providing solid prototypes of proposed part designs, one company has saved enough money in avoided rework to pay for its new 3D printer several times over.
Read MoreThe Aircraft Imperative
Reduce cost, reduce weight—to the extent that additive manufacturing can do these things, it represents a promising method for making aircraft parts. While important constraints currently prevent additive manufacturing from seeing more widespread use in aircraft production, these constraints might not be what you think. Here is a look at additive manufacturing within Boeing.
