As a design engineer, your job is to create the next great innovation. But creating your design and manufacturing it is easier said than done. Too often you’re forced to reckon with some difficult questions. How do we manufacture this part? How long will it take to...
The ability to build mission-critical parts at equal or higher quality than traditional manufacturing methods, in a fraction of the time, is a game-changer for the entire aerospace and aviation industries. In this article, we are going to discuss what makes Velo3D so...
Built From the Ground Up with Entire Product Lifecycle in mind People often discuss prototyping and spare parts when it comes to additive manufacturing. But we don’t often discuss the entire product lifecycle. And, until now, rightfully so. Reliability...
With social distancing the new norm, many people are understandably getting a little antsy being stuck at home. On the bright side, this can be a perfect opportunity to take a moment to catch up on the latest trends and applications of additive manufacturing. For that...
How to Select Parts for Velo3D SupportFree Manufacturing For most of additive manufacturing (AM) history, the promise of complete design freedom ran headfirst into the reality of engineering constraints. Particularly with metal laser powder bed fusion, large...
In 2020, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the invention of metal laser powder bed fusion. In that time, certain industries, like emerging space, have completely revolutionized rocket engines and space flight with higher thrust, larger payloads, faster development...
