Using additive manufacturing (AM) is now a serious consideration for medical device OEMs.

Amorphous metals are ideal for medical devices created with 3D printing.

Companies that integrate an additive strategy into their supply chains are going to be well positioned for the future.

How 3D Printing helped a child with a congenital heart defect.

Around the U.S., the major manufacturing regions are taking stock of the fallout from the pandemic and how they can navigate out of the lockdowns in 2020 to thrive once again.

The mass use of AM with emergency authorizations is almost as unprecedented as the pandemic itself. Worldwide supply chain disruptions required everyone to identify local solutions to manufacture emergency medical supplies and equipment. AM came out on top as an on-demand, production-capable, locally sourced solution.

Long before the pandemic, additive manufacturing was recognized for its ability to enable the creation of personalized surgical plans and tools, thus helping improve patient outcomes.

Three trends show a path to a more mature use of 3D printing: production in hospitals and clinics, technology developments and reimbursement.

Laser cutting and waterjet cutting: two great technologies that go great together? Or best when they play solo? As ever, the answer is it depends—on what work a shop has coming in the door, what materials are being processed most often, operator skill levels and, ultimately, the available equipment budget.

The thermodynamics of the extruder head, or “ThermoTag puts, a stamp undetectable to the naked eye on the physical properties of 3D printed parts. If proven and accepted through additional research, the phenomenon has implications for thwarting counterfeiting of parts and products, protecting intellectual property (IP) and tracing illegal manufacturing of weapons.
