3D file: choosing the right one for optimal 3D printing Having a quality 3D format is the basis of all successful 3D printing. Opting for the right format, which contains the exact technical information, ensures that your part is produced safely in the 3D printer and guarantees a part that is as good as possible.

Calculating the cost of 3D printing: factors to consider Do you want to produce your parts using 3D printing technology, but have no idea how to calculate its cost? There are many factors to take into account when understanding the costs of additive manufacturing [...]

Source of many possibilities, additive manufacturing is increasingly integrated into industrial processes. Faced with these possibilities, many manufacturers are developing ever faster, more responsive and versatile systems to meet the needs of the industry. With the multiplication of 3D printing technologies, it is difficult for professionals to choose the right one.

How does 3D printing contribute to a more environmentally friendly industrial world? Human activities have an impact on our environment. Industry is one of those activities that sometimes pollute too much. Producing too much or too badly implies unnecessary energy expenditure, waste, overexploitation of natural resources or a heavy carbon footprint due to the transport of materials.
