California’s 3D printer firearm-blocking bill is now law. But the version signed by Governor Gavin Newsom is quite different from the bill introduced earlier this year. Newsom signed Assembly Bill...
The additive manufacturing market may be growing again, but one of the more interesting numbers behind that recovery has little to do with selling 3D printers. AM services generated nearly...
The first decades of PBF development were heavily shaped by machine capability: more power, more lasers, larger build volumes, better recoating, and improved process monitoring. These developments will continue, but...
Editor’s note: This is Part 1 of a two-part series by Xu Fanglei examining the technology and patent issues behind the Stratasys-Bambu Lab dispute. Part 1 looks at the U.S....
I just posted about how the FCC’s looming ban on new imports of robot systems is combining with surging robotics demand to create a big opportunity for the additive manufacturing (AM)...
A 3D printed part can generate a lot of information. The challenge is keeping track of it. Manufacturers need to know which design was used, what material went into the...
The problem with US manufacturing is the productivity growth rate. Depending on the source, US manufacturing productivity has either been flat or slightly declined since 2010. Before going any further...
