Liquid-cooling VFD Increases Efficiency and Savings in Plastics Machinery
With operations running 24/7, 365 days a year, the company sought to upgrade its variable frequency drives (VFDs) to increase motor efficiency, thus reducing operational costs and enhancing energy efficiency throughout its extrusion processes.
Additive Manufacture: In-house 3D Printing versus Outsourced 3D Printing Service
In this 3-part series of articles, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of 3D printing / additive manufacturing (AM), where our main focus is empowering you to make informed decisions about how to engage with the technology across an ever-evolving landscape.
Winds Of Change For Vestas: 3D Printed Tooling Transforms Wind Turbines
There aren’t a lot of technologies that can propel towering wind turbines to new heights of time and cost efficiencies, but large-format additive manufacturing rose to the challenge and delivered with its eclectic range of applications.
How to Create A Good Technical Drawing
Make sure your drawing undergoes all quality assurance and approval procedures. A drawing that is easy to follow and clearly defines your requirements is one of the first steps to a successfully manufactured part.
THE IMPACT OF 3D PRINTING ON MICRO MOLDING - A SYNERGISTIC APPROACH
The precision achieved in micro molding is not just about miniaturization, it's about reproducing complex shapes with exacting tolerances that are measured in microns repeatably.
3D Printing Powers Wind Turbine Research At TU Berlin
On average, wind turbine blades are a massive 80 meters long. When it comes to reengineering these towering blades, no other technology offers the freedom, precision, and adaptability to scale parts quite like 3D printing.
