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 [...]

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.

3D printing: comparison with machining and plastic injection What are the advantages of 3D printing compared to machining and plastic injection? To better understand why 3D printing is today an unavoidable industrial production method, and even more advantageous for your company (and for the planet), we are going to compare it with two other classic solutions [...]

3D printing is easily incorporated into my company's existing manufacturing capabilities According to a study by OnePoll, 76% of companies use 3D printing in their production process. A trend that is expected to accelerate in the wake of the health crisis. So if you think that industrial manufacturing is not compatible with [...]

The 3 steps to understand concretely how 3D printing works. Everyone knows 2D printing. It's what we use when we have to print our documents. But how does 3D printing work? You have probably already heard about it, but do you know how it works concretely? How can we print in volume? How can we use it to manufacture our products?

The global pandemic has challenged global value chains. Indeed, the drastic containment measures decided upon by the major industrial powers have caused a sudden halt in the exchange of goods on a global scale.

Environmentally friendly, flexible, affordable and easy to use. These are all words that describe the role that additive manufacturing plays in the industrial world and in today's technology flow. Whether it's for the factories of the future or improving product lifecycles, 3D printing is making it possible to produce smarter, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly products over time.

Since the first industrial revolution in the 18th century, the world of industry has been developing at a rapid pace. In the 1760s, the first steam engines were introduced and mechanical production took over. This was followed by mass production, with the advent of electrical and petroleum energy, and then automated production with electronics and computers.

Today, industry is undergoing a 4th great revolution, driven by the emergence of new technologies. Indeed, our world is currently undergoing a profound transformation with a new generation of robotic, intelligent and interconnected factories.

What are the origins and main principles of Industry 4.0? We invite you to find out in this article.

How many times have you been faced with issues of inventory management, production stoppages, missed deadlines, insufficient cash flow, dependence on external entities or foreign competition? If you tick at least one of these points, it is probably because today's industrial world is difficult to access and it is time to change.
