In recent years, branches of the military have begun to explore the use of additive manufacturing in a variety of applications.  These implementations range from the production of spare parts to the development of new weapons systems.  As the technology continues to advance, its use in the military sector is…

As museums and ancient artifacts continue to be threatened by time, 3D printing offers a new way to restore and preserve these valuable pieces of history. By using 3D printing technology, museums can reproduce exact replicas of artifacts that have been damaged or lost over the years. This technology also…

Anyone who’s struggled with a physical disability knows how hard these limitations can be to manage. While it may not be able to fix everything, advances in technology are making life easier for some with physical disabilities. 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) is the process of layering a substance to…

For the past few decades, 3D printing has made its mark on the aerospace industry. Throughout the years, it was clear that using 3D printing was beneficial in so many ways. Through 3D printing, engineers found that the production was faster than being made by hand. It was cost-effective and…

According to the Smithsonian Magazine, the ocean’s coral population has been reduced by 63% since the 1950s.  This has dramatically impacted the biodiversity in the surrounding waters, including fish, mammals, plants, and other marine life.  Some unique species could be irreversibly damaged as a result of the loss of their…

The 3D printing process is growing in popularity and exposure. This fascinating process involving a robotic device shooting out tiny bits of matter sticking together to form parts and pieces is so transforming that it can change the world. Already used on a smaller scale to make parts for cars…

While we may be many years away from driving a 3D-printed car off the lot, the additive manufacturing process is still having an impact on the way we produce cars today. Like many other industries, the automotive business is taking advantage of the value they find in using 3D printing…

Emerging technologies continue to change how we do just about everything. Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) is one such advance in technology. It involves printing layers of a given material to produce an end result product. As stated by one such additive manufacturer, 3D Incredible, “As new materials, industries, and…
