Now that you know how to make a plastic skateboard deck, you can finally join movements for plastic recycling and other eco-friendly causes. All you need is the appropriate machine and piece of equipment and a whole lot of caution.
Design of the part:Try to simplify the design as much as possible and align it with the design rules of the given manufacturing process to be able to choose the technique that can achieve the lowest costs. Simple designs might only require molds that can be created with manual techniques, w...
With 3D printing moving ever deeper into end-use production, the ability to manufacture both parts and tooling using carbon fiber filaments is increasing in demand. Whether using these materials in molds, jigs, fixtures, tooling high-performance race cars, specialty aerospace equipment, or professiona...
For a repair like this to succeed it is very important to choose the right resin. Epoxy resin will bond far better to any composite boat and make a much stronger repair so should always be chosen over polyester or vinylester resin for repair work. Easy Composites' Rapid Repair™ resin is...
Once you have the whitening kit, grab plastic teeth molds and see how they fit in your teeth. Once you do this, add some of the whitening gel to the molds, then push them into your mouth on both the top and the bottom. Make sure to rub the gel all the way around your teeth as...
Let’s take a look at some of the ways PSYONIC uses in-house 3D printing to build the Ability Hand. In-House Carbon Fiber Molds In-house carbon fiber molding helped PSYONIC improve the design of the Ability Hand. Carbon fiber is a powerful material to build with, as it increases the ov...
as this work requires specific accuracy to ensure correct alignment and structural integrity. Robotic systems can also apply composite materials, like carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, in a uniform thickness to molds, thereby minimizing waste. In addition, robots handle such tasks as painting and surfa...
stuff behind your walls). If you haven’t noticed already, water moisture is a key player in helping mold grow and proliferate on a surface. Materials that have porous textures where air (oxygen) can enter and waste products, like carbon dioxide, can escape also make mold likely to appear...
I have been using a MakerBot Replicator 2 filament 3d printer for over a year. It has run over 500 hours and it is printing better than when I first got it. It took a fair amount of adjusting and tweaking to make that happen. ...
the metal. This is a process whereby sheets or tubes of metal are placed inside strong dies (kind of like molds) and then pressurized with water. The pressure of the water forces the metal to conform to the shape of the die. This technique allows for the formation of complex metal ...
