While NFC is a great technology for making purchases, it arguably provides more value after the sale, during an item’s use. Because NFC tags are small, durable, lightweight, and inexpensive they can be embedded into physical products that would otherwise have no digital connectivity. Once embedded with NFC, those products can drive to online content […]
Pairing Bluetooth devices, or connecting to a new Wi-Fi network can be a real pain, especially if you forgot the password. NFC tags remove these pains by pairing devices with just a tap. Because NFC chips can securely store passwords and can relay pairing information, they are a great way to seamlessly connect a phone
NFC may be most well known for mobile payments, where it powers services like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. These solutions make shopping simple, with tap-to-purchase and added security. Instead of using the same credit card number for each transaction, mobile payment solutions leverage the power of NFC card emulation to generate a single-use transaction
There are thousands of common everyday use cases for NFC these days. NFC has many impressive use-cases due to its form factor and convenient scan-ability.
As healthcare kiosks are becoming commonplace in doctor’s offices, pharmacies, drug stores, medical buildings, and even non-medical locations, such as grocery stores, users are gaining huge benefits in convenience and efficiency with everything from scheduling appointments, patient check-in, bill pay, diagnostic scanning, and managing prescriptions. With NFC-enabled healthcare kiosks, users can verify their identity with a simple
Back In 2011, (SAS) Scandinavian Airlines introduced a “Smart Pass” pilot program to some of their frequent fliers by giving them custom NFC tags to stick on the back of their phones with the aim of making the process of checking-in and boarding a flight “smoother and more time-efficient”. Those tags not only replaced their
Thermoplastics are the most frequently used materials in 3D printing, but the technology also includes the use of photopolymers, epoxy resins, metals, and more. Even edible materials such as chocolate are being used in 3D printers. Check out some of the materials we use to build our 3D Printed solutions.
3D printers enable people to 3D print lamps, tables, chairs, etc. Designers now have the ability to create interior decor on the spot. First, they will make a digital design of the decor and after that, they can make it reality by 3D printing it. Information contained within this page originally appeared on Formlabs.com

Paleontologists will have a field day with 3D printing, as it may help complete dinosaur skeletons by printing elusive missing bones. The Smithsonian museum staff experimented recently by printing the missing bones of a T. rex exactly to specification. The 3D workflow enabled the team to experiment widely and safely using modeling software, saved time
