Welcome to the Upsurge Blog
We don’t just 3D print parts — we 3D print knowledge.
Here, in our 3d printing blog, you’ll find everything from technical deep dives on HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), design for additive manufacturing, materials, and finishing techniques to lighter reads on trends, success stories, and quick insights from the 3D printing world.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has transformed how parts and products are made across industries. From prototypes to final production, it enables complex geometries that traditional methods can’t match. Its versatility spans plastics, metals, ceramics, and even biological materials. In healthcare, for example, custom 3D-printed prosthetics improve comfort, function, and fit — all while cutting waste and supporting sustainable manufacturing.
Whether you work in engineering, design, or production — or you’re just curious about how 3D printing is reshaping industries across North America — this blog is for you.
Additive manufacturing is now a core part of aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. In aerospace, companies use 3D printing to make lighter, stronger parts that improve fuel efficiency and safety. The automotive sector leverages it for rapid prototyping and on-demand parts, slashing inventory and lead times. As materials and processes evolve, the potential only grows — helping manufacturers build smarter, faster, and cleaner.
Our goal is simple: share ideas, solutions, and practical tips that make your projects faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. Whether you’re optimizing a design, exploring new materials, or gearing up for your next build, you’ll find useful, real-world insights here.
Education is also shifting. Schools and universities now use 3D printers to turn ideas into real prototypes — teaching students critical skills in design and engineering through hands-on learning. From science experiments to architecture and art, 3D printing is shaping the next generation of makers and problem-solvers ready for the future of manufacturing.
