Every patient has a different anatomy, and every orthosis, brace or insole should fit perfectly. Traditional orthopaedics has always known this, but until a few years ago, personalising meant resorting to plaster casts, foam models, manual working, long times and results heavily tied to the...

The melting point is one of the most consulted properties in the choice of a material, but also one of the most misunderstood. It's often confused with the maximum operating temperature or with softening. Furthermore, different parameters are sometimes compared, such as the melting point of metals...

PA12 nylon, Medical ABS, PEEK or resin? For those developing a 3D printed medical device, it's the question that immediately follows the one about geometry: which material guarantees biocompatibility, resists the intended sterilisation method, offers the necessary mechanical properties and remains...

Civil inspection and monitoring systems, from drones to crawler robots to sensors for infrastructure and plants, often require custom technical components not available off the shelf. Industrial 3D printing makes it possible to produce them quickly, even in series, with materials suited to...

When a 3D printed component has to be assembled with screws, especially if it's intended to be opened and closed several times during its operational life, the problem of thread durability quickly emerges. The polyamides and polymers used in 3D printing don't, in fact, offer the same threading...

Precision agriculture is today one of the fastest-growing segments in the civil sector. Multispectral drones, IoT control units installed in fields, satellite guidance systems for tractors, sensors for monitoring soil moisture and automated irrigation systems are transforming the way agricultural...

MJF, FDM or resin? It's the first question anyone with a 3D file to produce asks themselves. Each technology offers different performance, materials, tolerances and costs; choosing the most suitable one directly affects production times, budget and the final result of the project. A wrong choice...

For a quality manager in the medtech sector, choosing a 3D printing supplier isn't simply a technical assessment, but a decision linked to risk management. Every component produced can enter the medical device's technical file. Every non-conformity can generate a CAPA. Every MDR or FDA audit,...

Elongation at break is one of the main parameters on material test certificates. It indicates how much a material deforms plastically before breaking under load and is a fundamental parameter for assessing its ductility. For the designer it's an essential piece of data: it makes it possible to...

Medical 3D printing has gone, in just a few years, from an experimental laboratory technology to a well-established production solution. Custom surgical instruments, orthopaedic guides, personalised prostheses, diagnostic components and single-use devices are today increasingly often made through...
