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...
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...
The demand for high-complexity, low-volume part production in the aerospace industry has driven engineers to adopt additive manufacturing to mitigate bottlenecks while scaling production. For years, aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have faced unprecedented challenges when transitioning from prototyping and low-volume production to high-rate production. Oftentimes, when part complexity is...
Automotive manufacturers’ continuous quest for lighter, stronger, and more efficient vehicles has driven many to adopt 3D printing as a viable manufacturing solution. With innovation and cost being the driving force behind progress, many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are looking to integrate
Navigating the additive manufacturing (AM) technology landscape can be challenging. It’s our job to be informative and provide guidance to determine the right option for your next project. Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) are two of the most prominent additive technologies within the marketplace today. Each...
