Advanced 3D scanning delivers comprehensive, high-accuracy inspection for massive grinding roller shells. It replaces manual measurement with fast, traceable digital analysis, enabling smarter maintenance and reduced operational costs.
In this Insight video, Protolabs take a closer look at knit lines – covering what they are, how they are caused, problems they can cause and how to avoid them (or at least minimise their effects!)
Ultra-realistic 3m-tall dinosaur, 3D printed on the Massivit 1800 large format 3D printer by METROPOLE is wow-ing French train commuters at the Gare d’Austerlitz railway station.
The solution consists of a tailor-made application based on accurate localization and robot-camera calibration. PhoXi 3D Scanner scans the object from two different positions to increase the reliability of measurement and robustness of localization.
Designers are curious creatures who have been messing with computers for a very long time. In this article, I'll explore how lessons learned in my earlier days of working with parametric modeling and environmental analysis tools for architecture projects have informed my designing for AM today.
In this episode, we talk about Ford and HP’s partnership to enable a more sustainable manufacturing process, NASA’s Ingenuity drone, and a joint effort to prevent fall-related deaths by creating snake inspired no slip shoes.
For many years, the aerospace industry has been plagued by manufacturing challenges— limited capacity, complex geometries, strength requirements, and temperature resistance requirements, just to name a few.
The cloud accelerates innovation by enabling reducing the need for investment through pay-as-you-go models and increasing collaborative design opportunities.
Ford and HP are collaborating to use waste/unused 3D printing powder from companies like SmileDirectClub to make better fuel-line caps while eliminating material waste
Jigs, grips and fixtures are used in manufacturing to ensure that component parts can be produced accurately over many cycles or iterations. The jig supports and holds a workpiece in place, while guiding a machining or cutting tool as it carries out a specific task.
