3D Printing Sep 29, 2025

In its infancy, 3D printing was primarily used for prototypes and passion projects. If the end result looked good and held together for a few hours, it passed the test. But times have changed. Engineers now expect printed parts to survive stress, heat, and real-world use. That shift, from hobby to heavy duty, hinges on one factor: better materials.
