Introduction: A Game-Changing Phone Call “Barry, 50 parts, two weeks delivery. Can you do it?” The voice on the phone belonged to Mark, a long-time client, and there was an urgency in his tone I hadn’t heard before. I looked…
Introduction: From Prototype to Production, 3D Printing Is Reshaping Custom Manufacturing Traditional CNC machining has a fundamental limitation: the cutting tool must be able to reach the machining area. This means that complex geometric features such as internal channels, deep…
“Last night’s inspiration, tomorrow’s product” – This is no longer science fiction, but the reality brought to us by 3D printing Part 1: From “Impossible” to “48 Hours”: A True Story Last Wednesday at 3 PM, in a Blue Bottle…
Not every product in the production process requires mass production; rather, a significant portion of the items merely require small amounts. Large numbers of plastic goods are typically produced using injection molding. How can low-cost goods be produced in tiny…
By 2020, China’s aerospace market will enter a period of explosive growth. This field urgently needs high-strength and lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and superalloys used in engines and other components. 3D printing aerospace metal parts Significant…
To provide a more sustainable alternative to electricity production, wind power has been developed around the world. In the United States, for example, total annual wind power generation has increased from 6 billion kWh in 2000 to about 380 billion…
In recent years, the application of 3D printing is sweeping the world. We can see the presence of 3D printing in many industries, such as the manufacturing of 3D printed aircraft and car parts, this is no doubt that 3D…
Since the early development of industrial injection molding, how to keep a constant temperature on the surface of the mold has been troubling people. In injection molding, the cooling time of the finished product accounts for up to 72% of…
As the earliest 3D printing technology, photocured 3D printing is not as popular or sold as its successor, FDM(fusion deposition molding technology). Let’s talk about the advantages of 3D printing that use light curing 3D printing technology over FDM. First…
