Additive manufacturing? Subtractive manufacturing? The truth is that, in many cases, the best way to make something isn’t to choose between them, but to use both. It’s called hybrid manufacturing. And it’s easier than ever now that the Large Additive Subtractive Integrated Modular Machine (LASIMM to its friends) is up and running and officially open for business in Pamplona, Spain.

Infrastructure—it’s how we move people, power, and data. It’s how we transport goods and remove waste. It’s the connector for our communities, the network for our nations, the foundation for our civilized world. And it’s changing. Fast. New tools, new materials, and new processes are making more possible than ever before. But the skills and knowledge that got you where you are today may not be the skills and knowledge you need to move ahead. That means learning is essential. Check out these resources to help you adapt to the evolution of civil engineering today. READ MORE >

Airbus has been using generative design for more than five years now, and their progress provides a great view of just how far the capabilities of generative design have come in that time. Their first foothold was a single part, a partition wall, that would need to be additively manufactured. In the years since they first showed the part, other kinds of fabrication processes have been woven into the generative design framework. Airbus can now make the same part by 3D printing a mold and casting it in a material already certified for flight. READ MORE >
