A colleague recently forwarded me a Forbes article that talked about 3D Printing as a service. I agree with the author that while 3D printing machine prices make owning a machine out of the question for many consumers, there is a huge market for on-demand printing. The ability to take a file and digitally send
Just got tickets to New York for April 22-23rd to attend the first ever Inside 3D Printing Conference. As a longtime enthusiast of the industry, a user of 3D printing services, an engineer, and a consumer this will be a great chance to talk with others about the future of 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
The rise of 3D printing and rapid prototyping has many people thinking about one day replicating something in their home. Service companies, like Shapeways, Thingiverse and RedEye, exist to get models into the hands of printer owners but there is another way… create it yourself. To take an idea from napkin sketch to 3D part file

All the recent news coverage and developments in additive manufacturing have been a huge boon to the investors in the leading companies. I have written here before about some of this growth but now there is a new player entering the space. ExOne is set to release their first earnings report this Thursday so I
The ecosystem of 3D printers is poised to grow as each printer finds its niche market. To do this advances must be made in the modeling and design software so that novice users can create things for 3D printing. Desktop printing benefited from the rise of word processing and desktop publishing software. Most mid-sized and large offices
