In the last three excerpts of the 3D printing white paper “The Truth About Speed: Is the Hare Really the Fastest?” we have focused on the factors outside of build time that affect overall part delivery time. But i…
3D printing has been so successful in accelerating the product development process that companies are looking at the 3D printing process itself to see how technologies compare on speed. When considering alternative methods, it’s impor…
When comparing the speed of 3D printing processes, the build time – where the part is being built up in layers – is the most common measurement. But the build time is just one component of the time needed for part completion. Ot…
Speed is one of the primary reasons manufacturers are rapidly adopting 3D printing. So it's natural that the speed at which they produce parts plays a role in selecting a technology. But comparing the speed of 3D printing technologies i…
The London Olympics are just around the corner and here at Objet, like millions around the globe, we’re eager to see how the drama unfolds. In the spirit of the games then, why not follow us on our Facebook page for two weeks’ worth of amazing 3D printin…
