Our 3D printing blog covers a wide range of topics, including process comparisons, material insights, industry applications, and real-world case studies from across our client base.
Whether you are researching new prototyping options, exploring functional additive manufacturing for production, or looking to understand the latest developments in industrial 3D printing, this resource offers technical information written specifically for engineers, product designers, R&D teams, and procurement professionals.
Nottingham’s universities, schools, and research centres are embracing 3D printing to transform the way students and academics learn, teach, and innovate. In classrooms, additive manufacturing brings STEM to life
Designing for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) requires careful attention to wall thickness, tolerances, shrinkage, and part orientation. Unlike SLA or FDM, SLS allows complex geometries without support structures, but following…
SGD 3D will be closed for the August Bank Holiday on Monday 25th August 2025. Any orders or enquiries placed during this time will be handled as soon as we…
Each article provides detailed insight into different aspects of 3D printing technologies, including SLA, SLS, FDM, metal additive manufacturing, and resin-based processes. We also share project examples, material comparisons, and practical guidance to help you select the most suitable manufacturing method for your application.
Our goal is to make industrial 3D printing more accessible, technically accurate, and commercially viable for product development teams across the UK and Europe.
Field insight: Many of our clients use this blog as part of their internal design and procurement research when evaluating additive manufacturing options for prototypes, tooling, and small-batch production.
