3D Printing: Design's New Dimension

Posted March 04, 2014 12:01 PM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

If you agree with this Desktop Engineering article, additive manufacturing is not just another prototyping tool; it is helping to establish a whole new design paradigm. Learn how 3D printing has changed the product development capabilities of such major manufacturers as General Electric, which calls itself the largest user of additive technologies for metallic parts. Experts now see 3D printing as a powerful force in bringing design engineers closer to the manufacturing process. Need to dive deeper into this technology's potential? Learn about the programs underway at the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute and the MakerBot Academy.
