Micro Molding & Microfluidics - Overcoming Complexity Issues
Microfluidics is an extremely dynamic niche today, and will continue for many years to cement the importance of micro molding as a technology used to drive innovation in the medical sector in such applications as drug delivery devices, implants, and diagnostics
HOW COMPOSITES BENEFIT THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY
With the environmental impact of fuel clear to see, composite materials have the power to drastically reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. This is only one way composites can benefit the transportation industry.
Trends for 3D Printing in Manufacturing
There's no question that additive manufacturing will continue growing in the coming years. Some experts expect the 3D printing industry to surpass $20 billion by next year, but what will that look like?
3D-Printed Concrete Could Drastically Change Construction Efficiency
The freeform aspect of 3D printing allows going beyond the rectangular builds that are so common in both modern and historical structures. That means people could eventually see building designs that fascinate and inspire them with their unusual shapes.
LTG Lofts to go Makes 3D Printed Communities a Reality in Partnership with Black Buffalo 3D
These construction printers will enable 3D printing- yes, printing- of entire communities, facilities and offices onsite in a matter of days.
Massachusetts Metalcaster Established Over a Century Ago Leaps Forward with 3D Mold Printing
A growing number of companies within the sand casting industry are adopting 3D sand printing to produce high quality parts without tooling. The technology to 3D print molds without changing the actual sand casting process itself is a major advancement for the industry.
Take Advantage of Current CNC Machining Trends
Understanding current trends in CNC machining is the first step to taking advantage of them. Here's what's changing and what it means for machine shops.
Tips to Save Money on Your Next CNC Milling Project
If you are concerned about costs spiraling out of control when you kick start a new CNC milling project, then it is definitely a good idea to take stock beforehand and plan ahead to achieve significant savings.
Calculating Injection Molded Plastic Part Shrinkage
When designing any part for injection molding, it is important to consider the shrinkage and contraction rate of the material and the associated geometry of the component. Plastic shrinkage is the dimensional change that occurs in a molded part as it cools after injection.
The Potential of Polymer 3D Printing - Exploring Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Bearing Design
3D printing has evolved significantly over recent years, with much of the research effort placed in the materials science field. This has enabled the development of a whole range of high-performance polymers with mechanical characteristics similar to those of metal.
Metal Additive Manufacturing: The Cheaper the Better, asks IDTechEx
Metal additive manufacturing currently services high-value industries, most of the printers sold are powder bed fusion and can cost over $1m with expensive powder feedstocks.
Successful use of Carbon-composite Windform® XT 2.0 and professional 3D printing in the construction of 1P PocketQubes flight-ready
It is the first time that entire PocketQube functional prototypes flight-ready are manufactured using a Carbon-reinforced composite material - Windform® XT 2.0 - and Laser Sintering process.
When Should You Use 3D Printing for Production?
There are many reasons why 3D printing may be suitable for your hardware design and development cycle. But what about using 3D printing for full-scale production? Here are some considerations when deciding whether to use 3D printing for high-volume, end-use custom parts.
MICRO MOLDING FOR MICRO-ELECTRONICS
Perhaps like no other, the field of microelectronics exemplifies the drive towards miniaturization, the obvious reduction in size of everyday household appliances and cell phones showing the extent to which products containing electronic components have been reduced in size.
Smart Manufacturing Control
This article discusses new technology features within the CNC, the HMI (Human Machine Interface) and making the process easier to manage, as well as how that relates to the machine motion control and specifically for multi-axis applications.
