From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.

When you are manufacturing components for mining, power stations, and heavy industry, getting the dimensions right is only part of the job. The bigger question is whether a new component will actually fit where it needs to go.

Snapmaker, Polymaker, and TCT Shenzhen put working 3D printers on the show floor for a hands-on badge build that mixes electronics with additive manufacturing.
Drill breakage on a 6 mm hole in stainless steel is a common and preventable failure. Push the feed rate too high and the drill advances faster than it can evacuate chips, cutting forces spike at the tip and margins, and the drill snaps mid-cut.

A medical plastic part can look simple on a drawing. But before it reaches validation or production, small details can change the result: material behavior, shrinkage, wall thickness, assembly fit, surface finish, inspection requirements, and production volume.

Simulated trapped-ion workloads show the classical decoding layer keeping pace with millisecond syndrome cycles, with the overhead set mainly by the physical two-qubit error rate.
The NH762 grade from NTT-AT reached 65 nm meta-optical features on EV Group's SmartNIL imprint process, with pattern height moving about 2.2% across 25 consecutive imprints.
A laboratory device reaches 13.6 dB of isolation at 1540 nm, with heat confined to a window 700 micrometres across instead of the whole wafer going through a furnace.
Injection moulding enables consistent, high-volume production of complex plastic parts at a lower cost per part once tooling is in place. Learn how the process works, when it outperforms 3D printing, and why material flow, cooling, and part design matter.
