If you are 3D printing multiple parts using SLS nylon material, you need to know about nesting. This technique will save you money and make you feel like an expert in 3D printing. If your design has a lot of parts, you can most likely use nesting to lower the overall cost of printing. In some cases, you can print all of your parts for the price of the largest one.
Additive manufacturing has become a valuable tool for manufacturers looking to reduce operational costs and efficiently produce needed parts and components, with the market expected to exceed $35 billion in the next three years. We have enlisted 5 key trends for you to keep an eye on as you consider incorporating additive manufacturing into your business in 2023.
3D printing is an incredible technology that gives designers and engineers the ability to rapidly produce parts and products. Despite its widespread use, there are also times when 3D printing is not the best manufacturing option. In this blog post, we'll explore 5 scenarios when you should and shouldn't use 3D printing to manufacture your product.
As a designer or engineer, it is important to understand the limitations of a mechanism used within your product. For instance, how can you know how many fastenings to use without knowing their load capacity? This is why we underwent a study to evaluate the performance of threaded inserts in 3D printed polymer materials. The findings of which we have made available in this whitepaper.
If you are a designer, engineer or innovator, you will be all too familiar with the pains of sourcing quotations. Getting prices and lead times for manufacturing custom parts can sound so simple. That is until you’re endlessly clicking through clunky software or waiting for a reply from a sales rep that appears to be on an eternal coffee break.
