The State of Additive Manufacturing 2025

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has moved from its nascent stages into a mature and robust production method over the last decade.
Significant technological strides in additive manufacturing have been achieved in the last five years, offering consistency and precision for end-use components through powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED).
New materials have broadened the possibilities for AM applications, with advanced metal alloys, high-performance polymers, and other materials now available.
The aerospace and medical industries have led the adoption of AM, leveraging its strengths for lightweight, high-performance parts and patient-specific solutions.
Sustainability is a growing focus in additive manufacturing, empowering manufacturers to store CAD models instead of physical parts and addressing environmental concerns. Metal powder production and high-powered lasers continue to pose sustainability challenges.
Challenges still remain in adopting additive manufacturing. Quality assurance, knowledge gaps among engineers, and lack of training for skilled professionals are the major roadblocks.
Government policies and investments are pivotal to additive manufacturing's growth. Funding for research and development, training programs, and regulatory frameworks ensure manufacturers can integrate AM more effectively.
Emerging innovations in materials, automation, and sustainable practices are set to unlock new possibilities, empowering businesses to produce with greater efficiency and flexibility.
Decentralised production and on-demand manufacturing will likely become integral components of supply chain strategies, with additive manufacturing's ability to address specialized challenges ensuring its role as a critical driver of industrial innovation.
The potential of additive manufacturing to reshape industries and contribute to a sustainable future is limitless, promising to define not only how we manufacture but also how we innovate, adapt, and thrive in an ever-changing world.

Use the 4-C Framework to Build Observability in Cloud Native Environments

End-to-end observability is essential for cloud-native applications, covering each component's monitoring, identifying potential problems, and proactively resolving them.
Traditional monitoring paradigms are becoming insufficient, necessitating an end-to-end solution that ties the causal relation from code to business-level systems.
The 4C framework is proposed to build observability and develop a comprehensive framework across complex systems, containing 4 layers that are present in the cloud-native ecosystem, namely, “ Cloud, Cluster, Container, and Code”.
The cloud layer involves examining cloud services that applications utilize, and the Kubernetes cluster layer monitors nodes, resource allocation, network performance, among other metrics.
Container observability is difficult due to the dynamic nature of containerized applications, and tracking container health, resource utilization, and operational anomalies is challenging.
At the code layer level, observability focuses on APM tools that track user interactions and application errors. By analyzing logs and traces, developers can pinpoint areas for optimization or refactoring.
The 4C framework gives us an observability mental model that brings a holistic view of what is happening in the entire system and how to be proactive rather than reactive.
With the 4C framework, we can build end-to-end observability systems that cover all aspects of the cloud-native world ecosystem, regardless of the tools used to build observability.
The 4C framework can help identify potential issues before they erupt, responding to those issues proactively.
Thus, implementing the 4C framework can help organizations to enhance user experience by ensuring that applications perform reliably under varying loads on cloud-native infrastructures.

"Anonymity is not a fundamental right": experts disagree with Europol chief's request for encryption back door

Europol's chief, Catherine De Bolle, stated that technology giants have a "social responsibility" to give the police access to encrypted messages used by criminals.
Experts argue that creating a backdoor for law enforcement will undermine the protection of all users and have unintended consequences.
Backdoors in encrypted systems make them vulnerable to exploitation by criminals and can lead to mass surveillance.
The debate on encryption continues, with tech experts supporting the need for end-to-end encryption, while law enforcement argues for backdoors.

Best Practices For Secure File Sharing

When sharing files online, you expose your data to various threats, including malware attacks, unauthorized access, and potential data breaches.
Look for end-to-end encryption, secure access controls, and robust authentication methods.
Craft a password that is a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Encryption is a fundamental aspect of secure file sharing.
Control who can view or edit your files.
Make it a habit to regularly check for updates on your file-sharing applications.
Consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to add an additional layer of security.
Regularly revoke access to files that are no longer necessary or relevant.
Educating yourself and your team about the signs of phishing attacks can prevent breaches.
Implementing a version control system is a great practice to maintain a secure file-sharing environment.
Stick to safer document formats such as PDFs, DOCs, and images like JPEGs or PNGs whenever possible.
Backing up your files provides an additional layer of security.
Ensure that you instruct recipients on how to securely access and handle the files.
It’s essential to delete files properly, focusing on how to permanently delete files and revoke shared access.
