CAD and 3D printing go hand in hand. CAD software (which stands for Computer Aided Design) is a central part of any 3D system as it enables you to create a 3D model from the ground, up. There are many types of CAD software, each with its own benefits. AutoCAD, created by Autodesk,...
In recent years, 3D printing has become growingly everpresent. From medicine, aerospace, to design, and construction — every day there’s news about breakthroughs, innovations, and developments in the additive manufacturing industry. However, in one particular industry, it’s still pretty quiet reg...
As a leading Aerospace manufacturer, Boeing has already been experimenting with 3D printing for several years. At the end of 2015, in cooperation with their subsidiary HRL Laboratories, they announced a radically more efficient metal form for the outer structures of ships and engines. Weight is mo...
3D printing is the most advanced in aerospace and defense, where major manufacturers are using it to print parts faster, which are lighter (creating huge savings in fuel costs) and less wasteful. Maturity in this industry shows what is possible – and the newest generation of designers and eng...
