One of the most common issues with FDM 3D printing is under-extrusion, which manifests itself as thin or missing layers or visible holes in the structure of the part.
The MGV (Mechanical Guidance Vehicle) device is a self-controlling device without a driver. The guidance system of this device is mechanical, without a driver. Rough surfaces, which are one of the limitations of the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) device, do not exist for this device.
Almost any plastic or metal can be manufactured by CNC machining. It means that you have more options when selecting the right materials for your CNC machined parts, and it is quite a challenging work to find the exact material that meets all requirements for your product development.
PoleAttraction™ is an advanced stage of electroadhesion technology, developed by Engimotion which promises to revolutionize industrial automation.
ABS is a low-cost 3D printing filament with excellent impact and wear resistance. However, the ideal ABS print temperature is quite high, and the material also requires a heated bed to prevent warping.
