Machining can be an obstacle in the quest for “first-time right” 3D printing — designers need to ensure parts can be held in the machine tool, and that machines can access the features and critical surfaces that need to be machined. Here are five features designed with machining in mind on the pictured 3D printed part: https://lnkd.in/g8FAXrhY _____ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #machining #CNC #digitalthread #milling #buildplate

These chuck jaws have been on a journey. The original version was too heavy and clamped with too much pressure, often causing deformation. APG optimized the design for bound metal deposition 3D printing, reducing the weight and the clamping pressure. But, the journey doesn't end there. The chuck jaws were further optimized to be manufactured using MoldJet, a process that 3D prints wax molds that are then filled with a metal paste material. The results?

A new data format simplifies data processing throughout the metal 3D printing process. This allows production and process control to be combined in real time – not only for additive processes, but also for subtractive processes such as microstructuring. #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing

How does stereolithography and its several variants stack up against other polymer-based prototyping options? Resin 3D printing is used to describe additive manufacturing processes that use liquid photopolymer resins to build parts. Resin-based 3D printing is often the preferred method for parts with intricate designs, as well as small or miniature parts or those with fine features.
