Onshape, a leading 3D cloud CAD platform, announced a strategic partnership with BMF Material Technology , a world leader in micro/nano-scale 3D printing and precision manufacturing. Micro/nano-scale 3D printing is a technology in high demand by manufacturers of extremely small and complex parts such as connectors, endoscopes, cardiac stents and tiny springs. BMF plans to […]
Frustum Generate topology optimization plus 3D Systems DMP expertise slash weight of GE Aircraft bracket 70%
Bruce Jenkins, Ora Research A perennial engineering challenge is designing a part to meet performance requirements while observing design constraints imposed by manufacturing processes. Conventional subtractive machining offers sharply limited ability to cost-effectively produce complex geometries, especially biomorphic shapes and lattice structures. The result of those manufacturing limitations is often components and products with suboptimal […]
The Evolution of CAD
by Darren Chilton, Program Manager, Product Strategy and Development, solidThinking Designers seeking a solution for creating products for additive manufacturing, look no further than hybrid modelers. Without the constraints of traditional CAD tools, these programs help you explore product designs and create alternatives all in one place. Computer Aided Design (CAD) software first came onto […]
Inverse-kinematics software helps design modular robots for 3D printing
by Vojislav D. Kalanovic, President of Flexible Robotic Environment, Div. of Biocommerce Robotic systems being used today, for the most part, lack modular flexibility and other elements that allow easy integration, which often prevent an integrator from bringing them to market quickly. These deficiencies also prevent them from being able to tackle non-serial jobs in […]
New Balance Uses 3D Printing to Create Customized Shoes for Runners
No two runners are the same. This is especially true for athletes competing at the most elite levels. Their foot-strike patterns, degrees of pronation (the amount a runner’s foot rolls inward with each step), and braking and propulsion forces are all unique. However, the extent to which most running shoe models vary is rather limited […]
SpaceClaim Adds Support for 3D Printing
It seems nearly hourly a story about 3D printing is hitting the newswires and showing up in blogs, on Twitter or in the mainstream media. The applications of 3D printing are widely varied, from 3D printed chocolates to cars to houses to perfectly fitted prosthetics. It seems that the possibilities for 3D printing are nearly […]
Mark Forg3D’s Mark One: World’s First Carbon Fiber 3D Printer
Software companies spend a lot of money trying to create excitement at their user conferences, but it was newcomer, Mark Forg3D, that clearly generated the most buzz at this year’s SolidWorks World with the announcement of the upcoming release of its Mark One 3D printer. The Mark One is the first 3D printer to print […]

JOIN THE CELEBRATION — MEET THE FATHOM™ TEAM & CUSTOMERS FATHOM™ Opens 3D Printing Production Center in Seattle Thursday, November 14, […]
National MFG Day Highlights 3D Printing
In studying cell culture, the size and shape of the petri dish influences the results. Tough thing is finding the right dimensions per project, biologist Tom Zarembinski explained Friday during a visit to Fathom 3D printing studio in Oakland, Calif. It’s important to a study’s results that you find the right size cell dish, said […]
