Fabbaloo: 3D Printing for Toolmaking: What You Need to Know October 6, 2020November 4, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share One of the biggest positives of 3D printing is that no tooling is required — but it might just be perfect for making parts including jigs, fixtures, end-use parts, and even tooling. While additive manufacturing is coming into play for end-use parts and serial production, these types of parts remain largely the purview of traditional manufacturing technologies. High-volume manufacturing is often best served with conventional processes like injection molding that can quickly produce vast quantities of parts. Injection molding, though, like all conventional manufacturing technologies, relies heavily entirely on having a mold (a tool) in place. Read More: Fabbaloo Share

The Essentium Team February 26, 2021 TCT Magazine: The Role of 3D Printing in Future Supply Chains There were many more examples all over the world of 3D printing filling gaps of stretched supply chains as the COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions from the Far East to the West Coast. It quickly sparked conversations about the need for more agile and resilient supply chains, and in this industry, how important 3D printing is to the transformation of these supply networks.

The Essentium Team February 18, 2021 3D Natives: Essentium Survey Shows That Investments in AM are Paying Off In early February, Essentium, Inc announced the results of the second in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. We previously covered the first survey published in 2019, which focused mainly on the slow adoption of additive manufacturing for mass-production. This new survey has shown significant advancements in that particular arena as well as significant benefits for users of industrial additive manufacturing while also highlighting remaining challenges to overcome, notably concerning the cost of 3D printing technologies and materials.
