Take your hardware or product idea to the next level with the High-Temperature Carbon Fiber 3D printing Challenge. Tell us how you would use the new Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials high-strength, high-temperature carbon fiber filament for fused filament fabrication. Cutting-edge ideas win $25,000 worth of manufacturing support to develop prototypes and explore production scaling. Challenge closes on November 14. Read more about the challenge, the new material, and the potential of fused f

Can 3D printed parts hold up in an engine bay or elsewhere on a car when compared to the use of lightweight aluminium or similar, or is it still just technology best leveraged for prototyping? Grant Luttinen of Intamsys helps us understand some of the pros and cons of additive manufacturing, what is required when it comes to software and some options out there for printers as a hobbyist or professional. We take a quick look at printing options from $1,700 to $150,000 USD, as well as printing med
