So many different types of polymer #3dprinting, how can engineers keep them straight? How can we decide what to use? I like to look at Time To First Print (TTFP, a common metric in the paper printing industry) Some are better for prototyping (low volume, shorter TTFP) Some are better for production (high-volume, longer TTFP) #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing https://lnkd.in/gKkS_kqY

The debate between TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) in 3D printing circles is worth exploring. While TPU offers exceptional flexibility, impact resistance, and durability, making it ideal for #OandP applications and more, EVA provides a more cost-effective, lightweight solution often used across our industry. Both have their strengths depending on the project and patient needs. What are your experiences with these materials in 3D printing? How do you balance performance with affordability? #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #TPU #EVA #Flexibility #MaterialsScience #Innovation #3DPrinted #CAD #Design #Lattice

igus launches new SLS printing material iglidur i230: first igus 3D printing material for polymer components that withstands temperatures of up to 110°C. 3D-printed polymer components will be able to resist much higher temperatures in future – in the engine compartment of a car, for example. While commercially available SLS printing materials threaten to deform at over 80°C, the new powdery material iglidur i230 from igus can withstand a long-term application temperature of 110°C. Furthermore, it is free of PTFE and around 80% more wear-resistant than the classic PA12.

In the world of emerging technologies, there are terms that may be unfamiliar. We are here to help! The materials used for 3D printing are often anisotropic, meaning they're better able to resist force applied in one direction than another. Organizations using 3D printing for final products—particularly ones designed to support weight—must consider the orientation of printed parts and their directional weaknesses. Check out this video from Andrew Stockett as he explains how his 3D printed object broke thanks to anisotropic materials: https://buff.ly/3Lqi8jH Every other week, MIT Horizon will share easy-to-understand definitions of terms used in the #EmTech arena. If there’s a specific term you’d like to know more about, let us know in the comments below. #EmergingTechnology #TechnologyVocabulary #AM #AdditiveManufacturing

#DMLS 3D printing is a process capable of building highly complex shapes which would be near impossible to make via other methods. This technology promises to have a massive range of applications as it improves and becomes better understood. #slm #additivemanufacturing #mechanical #engineering #3Dprinting

The UltraCraft PRM reduces the peeling force while 3D printing with the UltraCraft Reflex. This means: ✅ Fewer supports ✅ Reduced support diameter ✅ Resin savings ✅ Faster printing Learn more: https://bit.ly/48ATMgg #HeyGears #ResinPrinting #ShapeYourIdeas

As parts get smaller, traditional manufacturing methods become more challenging to use. That’s where 3D printing technology PµSL (Micro SLA) steps in. Developed by BMF, this ultra-high-resolution machine has a build envelope of 100 x 100 x 75 mm. Parts are characterised by high accuracy, extremely fine detail and exceptionally smooth surfaces.
