Molding and milling are typically used to create prototype designs, but Audi hopes that full-color 3D printing could reduce the number of stages and time prototyping requires.

Can 3D printing debottleneck prototype tool production? Preliminary IACMI/ORNL study evaluates viability of using polymer additive tooling to compression mold SMC.

A DIY solution was necessary, but how to you model something ‘ergonomic’ before printing it out? Floam, apparently. Highly advanced 3D prototyping skills ...

The article discusses in which way you can use 3D printing to create a prototype of your product.

BERLIN, Germany (APTN/CBS Newspath/WKRC) - LOCI is a fully 3D printed car concept from the Berlin-based company BigRep. Even the tires have been printed, setting it apart from previous 3D printed ...

General Motors Co. has used 3D printing since 1989 to help build prototypes faster, but the technology wasn't ready to go much beyond that. Now, GM is 3D printing tools for medical device ...

Advancing technology and lower costs have some Seattle-area companies looking to 3D printing for faster, cheaper product tweaks and for full-fledged manufacturing as well.

It was assumed that 3D printing would forever be pinned to pumping out product prototypes. But that limiting idea is getting squashed by real world examples of the technology being used to produce ...

As 3D Printing Becomes Accessible, In-House Prototyping Will Increase Traditionally, the barrier to entry for additive manufacturing has been pretty high, which has led many SMMs to outsource their ...
