What is 3D Printing?
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process where materials are joined together to make objects from 3D model data (CAD).
Typically, 3D printing is a layer-by-layer process where part geometries are “grown,” fusing with the previous layer. 3D printing processes can build objects in plastics, photopolymers, reaction polymers, composites, metal, glass, and other materials.

Testimonials
I like the ease of use in the Shapeways platform, being able to 3D print on-demand orders for the first time, and most of all–being able to scale my business. In the beginning years ago I basically had the change in my pocket and a credit line at my bank so I couldn’t order a ton of things, and you never know what’s going to sell.”
Steven Jaworski
Owner | Voytek Medical
During the process, we used Shapeways capabilities to 3D print many prototypes. That meant we had the option to iterate very quickly, print objects, and test them to see if they were working correctly in terms of complexity, or too much complexity.”
Yonatan Assouline
Manager & Co-Founder | Flamingo Works
Shapeways was really great when we worked together before, which led us to reach out again. It’s been so helpful to talk with them about what we could do in every aspect of 3D printing and finishing, and it saved us a lot of time in experimentation.

Russian 3D printing service provider ranked among the best companies in the world
INNOVAKS, an accredited provider of the Skolkovo Technopark CCU in the field of small-scale, pilot and additive manufacturing, was included in the list of the world's leading 3D printing service providers published by at www.wohlersassociates.com. This is the first company from Russia and the CIS in the list of the best specialists in the field of additive technologies
Wohlers Associates (USA) is a leading independent consulting company in the field of additive technologies, for more than 30 years of its existence has earned credibility in the global community and is a recognized industry expert. For more than 20 years, the company has published an annual Wohlers report on additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
It is the undisputed industry report on the subject, often referred to as the "Bible of 3D printing".
Wohlers Associates places on the site those companies that successfully implement projects, carrying out engineering processes within them, in various industries. The availability of high-quality high-performance equipment is a prerequisite. The mention on the resource is an indicator of professionalism and a high level of services provided.

In the list of the best specialists in the field of additive technologies, INNOVAX is on a par with recognized world mastodons, including Stratasys, Materialize, Citim, Addaero, CFK, Spring, EMS, CRP Technology.
INNOVAKS realizes its rich potential and proves that domestic players in the digital production market have very optimistic and ambitious plans for the future. By introducing advanced materials and advanced technologies in the manufacture of parts and elements that were previously put into serial production, the company opens up new opportunities in industrial production, allows solving existing problems, eliminating shortcomings and optimizing many processes.
Thus, one of the INNOVACS projects was the improvement of the design and production technology of elements for the cockpit air conditioning system in the SSJ-100 aircraft
At the moment, parts are made of aluminum, which causes a high labor intensity of the process (welding, assembly, painting are required) and production costs (due to the development and creation of tooling). In addition, the presence of welds in finished elements significantly reduces such an important indicator for the aircraft industry as reliability.
Representatives of INNOVAKS looked at the project from a fundamentally new perspective. The result of a fresh approach was a proposal to replace the material from aluminum alloy to Ultem thermoplastic, to produce parts on a 3D printer, and to review the design of the manufacture of pipes and brackets for their fastening in order to reduce the number of joints that increase noise levels.
Calculations have shown that the developed parts have no strength reduction.
In addition, in the finished samples, a decrease in weight was noted, an improvement in aerodynamic characteristics due to the absence of corners and the turbulences associated with them. The time spent on manufacturing parts has decreased.

Russian scientists have figured out how to make cheap communication antennas: 3D print them out of plastic and then cover them with a metal shell
What happens
- Scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology proposed to print high-precision antennas on a 3D printer from plastic, and then cover them with metal so that the antennas conduct current.
- The metal sheath consists of metals with a high electrical conductivity, such as copper.
- At frequencies greater than 5 GHz, plastic prevents the antenna from working well. So the researchers removed the plastic base, leaving the metal shell. During the experiments, it turned out that such antennas work even better than standard ones.
- Such antennas, according to the creators, will help provide high-quality 5G and even 6G communications.
- According to Dmitry Filonov, head of the laboratory of radiophotonics at the Center for Photonics and Two-Dimensional Materials of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, the proposed method, although it cannot compete in productivity with metal printing, can produce reliable antennas at a low cost.
What it means
The 3D printing industry is constantly evolving. Almost everything is printed on a 3D printer: houses, organs, food. According to the consulting company Grand View Research, the global 3D printing market in 2021 was estimated at $13.
