ABS-M30 ABS-M30 is an advanced material that can be up to 70% stronger than normal ABS thermoplastics, while exhibiting superior layer bonding for more durable 3D-printed parts. This is the…
CNC Machining
CNC Machining Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining is used to cut reliable three-dimensional parts out of metal and plastic pieces. CNC machining uses lathes, routers, mills, drills and other equipment…
Applying smart design principles to amplify benefits of additive manufacturing
While it’s possible to use additive manufacturing to replicate an existing part that’s produced using traditional methods, it isn’t the best use of additive manufacturing. To maximize a part’s performance,…
Cast Urethane
Cast Urethane Urethane casting is a versatile process for fabricating plastic and rubber parts at low to medium production volumes. Similar to injection molding, urethane casting uses a two-part mold…
