A Comparison of Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing Materials

Selecting the right material is one of the most critical decisions in any additive manufacturing project. For engineers and manufacturers working with Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology, material choice directly impacts part performance, durability, regulatory compliance, and overall production costs. MJF offers a range of production-grade polymers, each...

A Guide to Contract Additive Manufacturing for Bridge Production

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...

5 Industries Impacted by Nylon PA 12 Flame Retardant

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...
