21st Century Tech

Montana this month gave a City of Billings contractor approval to build homes using 3D-printed walls for new construction in the state. The technology Tim Stark, the contractor, is using comes from Apis Cor , a Florida-based technology company that emphatically states on its website, “We print 3D buildings.”

3D printing — driving business in the automotive sector

AU Manufacturing

As such, for various applications, 3D printing is a good fit, allowing the manufacture of impossibly complex geometries in a variety of robust materials in a speedy and cost-effective fashion. I bought my fist printer in 2016. At the time 3D printing was viewed by many as a hobby or, at best, a prototyping tool.

Cloning Metal Parts for Space and Earth: Software for modeling metal parts before 3D printing speeds development, cuts costs for NASA and business

Additive Manufacturing

It’s not, though, especially if that part is to be built by a 3D printer. Additive manufacturing – or 3D printing – can save weight, time, and money and often produce sturdier parts than otherwise possible. One way to prove them is with software that creates a digital version, or “clone,” of the part to be printed.
