3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has been a popular topic of discussion on the COMSOL Blog and throughout the scientific community. New initiatives have furthered the capabilities of this technology, while extending its reach in various fields of research, manufacturing, and design. With the help of COMSOL Multiphysics, researchers at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) are investigating the promise of 3D printing in the realm of material design.

More Freedom and Flexibility in 3D Printing

Since 3D printing first emerged as a technology, its impact has been felt across a wide range of industries. Take automotive manufacturers, for instance. 3D printing capabilities have extended the freedom of vehicle design, enabling the development of highly customized parts while saving production time and costs. Within the medical field, the technology has led to greater innovation in the design of customized implants and devices as well as the creation of exact replicas of organs.Read more
