To give you an idea of what to expect in the 3D printing industry in the year ahead, we’ve reached out to 20 3D printing industry experts. Below, they share their vision and expectations of how 3D printing will evolve in 2020.
John Barnes is the founder and managing director of The Barnes Group Advisors, an additive manufacturing engineering consultancy. He has 25+ years experience in product development in the aerospace industry. We had the opportunity to interview John and get his perspective on additive manufacturing past, present and future. He provides some great insight on the industry.
Read MoreYes, the title is ironic. No view of the future is 20/20, especially ours, although John has been eyeing some 3D printed custom Titanium frames to help sharpen the outlook. In this blog post, we will cast an eye into the future with as many visionary puns as we can frame.
Read MoreThe topics of Certification and Qualification will feature prominently in the future of Additive Manufacturing (AM). Certification and qualification are not unique to highly regulated industries such as aerospace and medical. I will describe certification and qualification in terms of AM, and how it applies to both safety-critical and relatively relatively mundane applications.
Read MoreA high-speed synchrotron X-ray imaging technique was used to investigate the binder jetting additive manufacturing (AM) process. A commercial binder jetting printer with droplet-on-demand ink-jet print-head was used to print single lines on powder beds. The printing process was recorded in real time using high-speed X-ray imaging.
