If you, as a designer, are used to the fact that complexity is like a red rag to a bull because you have to design different components with their feasibility for production in mind, 3D printing will let you unleash your creativity. In this blog, we’ll give you three tips for you to consider when designing 3D prints or when you are interested in getting started!

Is 3D printing for intricate components only? It’s true that 3D printing allows you to create even the most intricate geometric shapes, but you will also find 3D printed components in – places like Airbus’ turbo-jet engines – so, no, 3D printing is not just for intricate parts. It offers unlimited opportunities to any manufacturing company that uses plastic or metal in some way. So, what’s holding us up or preventing us from using it more?

Industrial 3D printing offers companies unlimited opportunities that they can capitalise on more effectively than before. Why did we decide to invest in new equipment and what benefits does it offer our customers? Keep reading and we’ll tell you.

Welcome to the new, greener spare parts industry — digital spare parts are here to stay. We are happy to say goodbye to spare parts warehouses, which tie up millions in capital, and replace them with needs-based 3D printing. What is this all about?

The jump from traditional production methods to 3D printing metal is not a big one. Why and how to take that jump? Read more!

A successful designing stage is paramount in metal additive manufacturing. It is estimated that up to 30–40% of the entire 3D printing process of a metal component takes place before the actual production stage.

Industrial metal 3D printing that meets the needs of companies places certain demands on equipment and production quality. In this blog, we review the criteria and why companies planning to start additive manufacturing should consider them.

In 2018, we announced that we would start metal additive manufacturing. The innovation opened up completely new opportunities for the Finnish engineering industry. Our new blog series now takes a thorough look at these opportunities and their foundations.

Before a 3D printer can really be put to work, a 3D model of the component to be printed is needed. 3D modelling forms the foundation of efficient 3D printing, which is something you should really invest in.
