MJF Vs SLS: How to Choose the Right Powder Bed Tech for Functional Parts

If you’re a mechanical design engineer, you’ve likely moved past the "cool factor" of 3D printing. You aren't just printing desktop trinkets; you’re looking for functional parts that can survive a stress test, fit into a complex assembly, or even go straight into end-use production.

The Short Run Production Outlook: Why 3D Printing Is Winning the Factory Floor

We’re seeing a massive migration toward additive manufacturing for short run production (think anywhere from 1 to 1,000 units). The reason isn't just that the printers got faster: though they did: it’s that the entire economic and design philosophy of manufacturing has changed.
