For many years, the central narrative surrounding manufacturing has been simple: choose additive manufacturing for prototyping and traditional methods, like injection molding, for mass production. However, what happens when a product pushes past the prototype phase, yet isn't quite ready for full-scale manufacturing?That in-between stage is where many companies find...
Additive manufacturing is rapidly transforming from a prototyping tool into a full-fledged production solution. With this shift comes the demand for materials that can handle real-world challenges: heat, flame, stress, tight tolerances, and more. In response, specialized polymers are being developed and certified at a remarkable pace to meet these...
The world of manufacturing is evolving rapidly, driven by cutting-edge technologies that promise to reshape how we produce everything from complex parts to final products. One of the most exciting advancements in this space is metal binder jetting—a 3D printing technology that combines the power of additive manufacturing with the...
According to MarketsandMarkets, “the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) market volume is projected to grow from 5.42 million units in 2024 to 7.51 million units in 2029.” Comparatively, aerospace and defense market analysis firm Teal Group forecasts that non-military unmanned aerial systems (UAS) production will jump from $7.2 billion annually to...
Engineers and manufacturers often find themselves at a crossroads, deciding between well-established materials and emerging alternatives. Two such contenders that frequently come up in discussions are Delrin and Nylon PA 12. Delrin has long been favored for its excellent mechanical properties and ease of machining. However, advancements in 3D printing...
