It should surprise no one that here at Formlabs we put our printers into use in all sorts of applications and that includes our own Machine Shop. For #formlabsFriday I wanted to share what I think its one of the simplest, yet most useful items I've found in our machine shop for keeping tools sorted. Want to make them yourself? Here is the file: https://lnkd.in/g3t_pzwi Combine this with Preforms new free Labeling feature and you can make an entire batch for all your tooling in a few short minutes. I've probably spent more time trying to find the tool I needed than it took to to design and print these. What is your most useful thing you have printed to improve your shops workflow? #3dPrinting #manfuacturing #CNCmachining #machineshop

Welcome back to the numero uno #techtalk thread on the planet! This Tuesday, we're stepping into the future of training with Augmented Reality (AR) for additive manufacturing (AM). Imagine learning how to operate and maintain 3D printers with interactive holograms right before your eyes. Talk about levelling up your skills! Did you know? AR training can reduce learning time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. That's more time spent printing awesome stuff, and less time buried in manuals! Forget deciphering complex instructions. AR overlays visual aids and step-by-step guides directly onto the equipment, making learning intuitive and engaging. AR simulations allow trainees to practice troubleshooting and maintenance procedures in a safe, virtual environment before tackling the real deal. Mistakes happen, but not on your expensive printer! Imagine having a remote expert guide you through complex procedures via AR. No need for expensive on-site training – AR brings the knowledge directly to the trainee. AR training isn't just about fancy tech, it's about empowering the next generation of AM professionals. Stay tuned every Tuesday for more mind-blowing #techtalk! Remember, innovation thrives on learning, and AR is breaking down barriers to create a skilled, future-ready workforce. #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #training #augmentedreality #anythinginmetal #engineering #futureofwork

When Formlabs, a global leader in industrial 3D printing, sought a modern solution for its global teams, Onshape’s cloud-native CAD and PDM answered the call. The switch from a file-based system meant no more “one-person-at-a-time” workflows, enabling their team to speed up their product development process. Matthew Lipsitz, Head of Sustaining Engineering and Quality at Formlabs, appreciates how Onshape allows their engineers to concentrate on design without being held back by IT tasks. He notes, “cloud-native software takes servers, maintenance, and other IT tasks out of our hands, saving time and reducing the burden on our engineers."

An excellent guide for showcasing the benefits of third-over tone and phase-locked loop differential oscillators for applications such as Sonet, PCI Express, broadcast clocking or high data rate computing. Whether you require a more discrete base frequency oscillator or an Abracon-designed multiplication circuit with higher frequency capabilities for immediate clock integration, there is likely a suitable solution available. Custom requirements also available by request. #Datacenter #Timing #AI #Oscillator #Clock

It's #formlabsfriday and I want to introduce you to the "Torture Sphere". This little guy is going to help put some #additvemanfuactring materials to the test. In the real world. Formlabs already does hundreds of scientific materials tests on it's entire library (https://lnkd.in/gpgZEbAb) but I want to see how they perform outside of the lab to prove that #3dprinting is #toughenough for everyday use. So what else should we try?

Ok, the Formlabs Form 4 is easy to use. I’ve shown you can do a lot of the physical stuff with one hand. But can you set up your print and fire it off to the printer one-handed? With our One Click print feature, you can! Finished parts in the comments. #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #innovation #userdesign #easybutton

#techtalk Tuesday strikes again! This week, we're getting our metal on with incremental sheet forming (ISF). It's basically like origami for machines, using computer-controlled tools to transform flat sheets into complex 3D shapes. Did you know? ISF can achieve intricate details with a single, universal forming tool, eliminating the need for expensive, custom dies. Say goodbye to mold fatigue, hello to design freedom! Think spaceships on a budget! ISF helps create lightweight, high-strength aircraft components from aluminum and titanium alloys. Every ounce counts when you're blasting off! Need a quick and dirty prototype to test your design? ISF allows for fast turnaround times and flexible design iterations, all without breaking the bank. Innovation at the speed of light! Tired of boring, boxy designs? ISF lets you create aesthetically pleasing and functional enclosures for your electronics, perfect for standing out from the crowd. Form meets function in a symphony of metal! ISF is more than just sheet metal manipulation, folks. It's a revolution in metalworking. Stay tuned every Tuesday for more mind-blowing #techtalk! Remember, innovation bends the rules, and sometimes, the most complex shapes start from a flat sheet of possibility. #metalworking #3Dprinting #manufacturing #aerospace #anythinginmetal #engineering #design
