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...
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing and injection molding are two trusted manufacturing technologies, each bringing unique strengths to the table. Choosing the right process isn’t always straightforward, especially when factors like part size, production volumes, finishing requirements, and part complexity come into play. The reality is that without a...
When Ryan Saavedra fell during a rock climbing trip in 2017, he had no idea that the injury to his ring finger would one day inspire a new era of accessible bionic technology.Then a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) studying to become an electrician, Saavedra...
For years, 3D printing was primarily used for creating prototypes, figurines, and other non-functional parts. This limited its potential as a true manufacturing solution. While these applications demonstrated the 3D printing industry’s versatility and precision, it often fell short in producing robust end-use components for demanding applications. To address this...
In an era defined by environmental consciousness, the marriage of sustainability and additive manufacturing emerges as a beacon of hope for a more eco-friendly production landscape. As the demand for high-performance materials continues to soar, so does the imperative to source them responsibly. Yet, in the pursuit of a sustainable...
