In the field of additive manufacturing, carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) composites have long been sought after for high-end applications such as aerospace and biomedical engineering due to their exceptional mechanical properties and heat resistance. However, the traditional fused filament fabrication (FFF) process has faced a persistent bottleneck when preparing these composites: low fiber content, typically below 20%, which limits further

The world of additive manufacturing is witnessing a paradigm shift, moving beyond the traditional flat layering technique to embrace the complexity of the third dimension. A groundbreaking development from a joint research team, including the Hong Kong Chinese University, University of Manchester, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Nottingham Trent University, has introduced a novel approach to silicone 3D printing. Their

The intersection of metal 3D printing and aerospace certification represents one of the most challenging yet rewarding frontiers in modern manufacturing. In March 2026, a significant milestone was achieved when VOCUS GmbH, in collaboration with Materialise and EOS, received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for a 3D printed aircraft exhaust component . This accomplishment

At Lava3DP.com, we empower innovators and businesses to bring their designs to life through advanced manufacturing. Metal casting is a cornerstone of custom part production, offering unparalleled flexibility for complex geometries and a wide range of materials. But with so many methods available, how do you choose the right one for your project? This definitive

The application of 3D printing in film and television is developing very rapidly. Why? Because many film and television drama shooting tasks require special customization, and the amount is generally relatively small; this demand is innately compatible with the rapid prototyping of small batches of non-standard parts that 3D printing is good at. There are

With the development of 3D printing technology, research work will enter a new stage, and this is just a matter of time. “4D printing” is a recently defined category used to describe the integration of existing 3D printing technology and Mars material science to create a printed component whose configuration can be changed by environmental

FDM 3D printing technology has a wide range of applications in many fields. Let’s talk about the application of 3D printing prototypes in motorcycle engine design. Speaking of this, one has to talk about Ducati, one of the most famous racing motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Ducati was founded in 1926, and its characteristics are

There are many types of 3D printing technologies, and currently they are widely used: SLS selective laser sintering molding technology, DLP/SLA light curing molding technology, FDM fusion layered molding technology, 3DP technology and so on. The following is a detailed introduction of the different types. SLA/DLP Technology SLA is a three-dimensional light curing molding method.
