This Report shows how tools like artificial intelligence, digital twins, and on-demand manufacturing are no longer emerging concepts, but are already delivering measurable impact across the product lifecycle.
Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
The creation of structural properties during the manufacturing process is the hallmark of the composites process which brings in manufacturing defects that could not be foreseen during the design phase of the structure. It forces the production engineer to ask the question of discard or repair?
In this article, the focus is on understanding the key steps in designing structural composites with examples of aerospace components; i.e. wing and fuselage.
Ultimaker’s Cura slicer software gives you many options for generating supports. Here are some of the top Cura support settings explained and tips on troubleshooting support problems.
