3D printing is compatible with thermoplastics, resins, metals, ceramics, and composite materials. This fast and precise manufacturing method can produce standalone custom parts and fully functional assemblies. It is also applicable to rapid prototyping and batch manufacturing. There are different 3D prin...
How does 3d printing work? 1. The 3D printing principle The working principle of 3D printing is the same as that of traditional printers. It’s just that 3D print does not spray ink, but printing materials such as liquid or powder. The rapid prototyping device that uses light curing and ...
3D printing does not operate in a vacuum, and the macroeconomic and environmental forces shaping the global industrial and manufacturing landscape should be given consideration alongside advances in technology and trends specific to our industry. In 2023, China’s reopening is set to be the most sig...
3D printing, like stereolithography or fused deposition modeling, and CNC machining are two common methods of rapid prototyping. What is the difference between rapid prototyping and 3D printing? Rapid prototyping is a broader term inclusive of various techniques for iterating product models — which ...
So, let’s dive into some standout features from our August release that we think you’ll love:Create Large Component Instances Faster: Experience up to 17.8x improvement when creating a large number of components using the 3D Printing Essentials add-in. Speed Up Opening 3MF Files: Open ...
NI HIL Simulators are built on an open architecture based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware like PXI and switch load signal conditioning (SLSC) to ensure that you can customize systems to meet your test needs and keep pace with evolving industry trends. As new ideas enter your ...
How does SLA 3D printing work? What are the print parameters of SLA? What are the characteristics of SLA 3D printing? What materials are used for SLA printing? What are the options for SLA post-processing? Applications of SLA 3D printing What's the difference between desktop (prototyping) an...
What does DFM stand for? DFM stands for “Design For Manufacturing” or “Design for Manufacturability.” It’s a design-first process that enables designers and engineers to create, iterate, simplify and optimize parts before they are manufactured. What are the advantages of DFM? Well-plan...
The rocket is made of stainless steel, a material Musk is particularly fond of due to its relatively low price. Unlike NASA's SLS, which flies on super-chilledliquid hydrogen and oxygen, this beast is fueled with 10 million pounds of liquid methane and oxygen. The new fuel can be stored...
2D packers are great for Additive processes that require support structures. 3D packers are used for self-supporting processes such as SLS and MJF. With this version we are releasing a new 3D arrangement type called Monte Carlo. During the Monte Carlo packing process, you have the option to ...
