Why manufacturing security standards are essential for growing 3D print farms
From aerospace prototypes to consumer products, 3D printing is reshaping manufacturing, and security standards are rising to match. Print farms that invest in proper security infrastructure now aren't just protecting files, they're positioning themselves to take on high-value contracts that their less-secure competitors can't touch.

How academic 3D print labs can reduce, reuse, and recycle for a more sustainable operation
February 5, 2025
Reduce, reuse, recycle. 3D print labs often care deeply about making their operation sustainable, but how can the common approach be adapted for 3D printing?
In manufacturing, nothing is as important as uptime. But in 3D printing, it’s normal for even the most efficient operations to experience huge amounts of downtime (~30% - 50%). Truly competitive 3D printing operations hone in on this and find ways to eliminate it. But how do they do this?
Reducing 3D Print Lab-Related Admin in an Academic Setting
