The automotive industry is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval. The impacts of COVID and global geopolitical instability are disrupting supply chains.

Additive Manufacturing, the process of creating parts by addition of material, finds multiple application areas within the fields of medicine and healthcare.

Additive manufacturing (AM) — once reserved for prototyping — is becoming an increasingly feasible technology for serial production.

AM technologies have seen significant growth because of their ability to provide commercial and performance advantages in the aerospace industry.

The most accredited leaders and experts in AM will gather to educate and innovate at RAPID + TCT 2023 as it returns to Chicago’s McCormick Place, May 2 - 4.

It’s not the future — it’s the present. And here's the proof. Advances in 3D printing over the past few years have been dynamic, and so has its impact on numerous industries.

A method for printing display on a smart contact lens in 3D has been devised by researchers in Korea, eeNews Europe reported.

Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are using additive manufacturing techniques to create unique waveguide structures that would be difficult or impossible to make using conventional fabrication processes.

As 3D printing extends beyond prototyping into production, the technology is beginning to deliver on the manufacturing holy grail: a stable supply chain and personalized mass production.

You know you held a great event when exhibitors and attendees offered thanks & words of praise — exactly what I heard throughout RAPID + TCT 2022 and after.
