3D printing can offer a wide range of advantages over more traditional manufacturing techniques. However, in general there are four major areas where it can come out in front of those processes.
New 3D printing technology Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) may appear to be a replacement for selective laser sintering (SLS) after all both build parts from thermoplastic nylon but MJF is faster, more precise and produces more consistent mechanical properties throughout the part.
3D printing offers many benefits to the oil and gas industry including guaranteed quality standards, greater flexibility of design parts, less product development time, reduced carbon emissions, less waste, reduced costs and rapid turnaround from order receipt to product delivery.
This video will look at a common problem when designing parts for injection moulding, undercuts. The most common piece of advice you will get, is avoid them if you can, but sometimes you can’t. With this in mind, we will give a handful of tips that can help alleviate design issues caused by them.
Sustainability itself is a weighty topic, so this video will focus on how sustainability relates to the 3D printing process, how it stacks up against other manufacturing methods.
The new CMM Fixturing Module of the FDM™ Fixture Generator streamlines fixture design for inspection in Coordinate Measuring Machines. The tool enables QA engineers and technicians to generate & 3D print custom fixtures with just a couple clicks.
