About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

3D Printing Metals Company Benchmark Analysis Report 2025 | 3D Systems, Renishaw, and Stratasys Dominate with Innovations in Healthcare, Smart Factories, and Polymer-Based Production - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "3D Printing Metals - Company Evaluation Report, 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 3D Printing Metals Companies Quadrant is a comprehensive industry analysis that provides valuable insights into the global market for 3D Printing Metals. This quadrant offers a detailed evaluation of key market players, technological advancements, product innovations, and industry trends. The analyst's '360 Quadrants' evaluated over 112 companies, of which the Top 11 3D Printing Metals Companies were categorized and recognized as quadrant leaders.

3D printing metal, technically known as metal additive manufacturing, is a revolutionary process that builds solid metal objects directly from a digital design file. Unlike traditional subtractive methods that carve away from a larger block, this technology constructs parts layer by layer. Common techniques like Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) use a high-power laser to fuse fine metal powder together, creating robust components with intricate internal structures and complex geometries that are impossible to achieve through conventional casting or machining.

The market is driven by high-value industries seeking unparalleled design freedom and performance gains. The aerospace sector is a primary adopter, using the technology to produce lightweight yet strong components for aircraft and rockets, significantly improving fuel efficiency. In the medical field, it's used to create custom-fit orthopedic and dental implants that offer better patient outcomes. The automotive and industrial sectors also leverage metal 3D printing for rapid prototyping and the on-demand production of specialized tools, jigs, and fixtures, drastically reducing development timelines.

However, significant barriers hinder widespread adoption. The substantial initial investment in industrial-grade metal printers and the high cost of specialized metal powders are major financial hurdles. The process can be slow compared to mass-production techniques, making it less economical for high-volume parts. Ensuring part quality, consistency, and meeting the rigorous certification standards required for critical applications is a complex and costly endeavor. Furthermore, a persistent skills gap exists for engineers and technicians who specialize in designing for additive manufacturing and operating these advanced systems.
