3D Printing Techniques
Learn about different 3D Printing Techniques for creating prototypes and end-use parts
Dubi Finklshtein and John Brown; Directors of Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing at Javelin Technologies recently hosted a 3D Printing Manufacturing workshop at MaRS (Toronto, ON.) and presented techniques to get the most out of 3D Printing. Watch the video below to get an insight into the technologies which are best suited for the needs…
So what is 3D Printing anyway? Asap SCIENCE explain what 3D Printing actually is, the technology behind it, and ask the question “will it change everything?”. Watch the short video below to learn more. If you want to understand Additive Technology used in Stratasys 3D Printers then check out our featured on-demand webinar. [pl_video type=”youtube”…
Many people are curious about how to include text elements (or other components) in a 3D printed multi material part. In my last post I described the features of a multi material sample with 10 different materials on it. Coincidentially, I needed to include some text blocks in the body of the sample in order to identify…
The Connex line of Stratasys Design Series 3D printers is the only 3D printing solution able to use two materials at the same time, and obtain a new one by combining these two base materials. To demonstrate this unique capability I modeled a sample part with 10 different digital materials on it. By using Vero…
This is just a quick tip on how to reduce the noise coming from the pressure unit for the smaller Objet Waterjet. The water pressure used to clean the support material from the printed parts is generated by a pressure washer type unit. This device is quite loud so I decided to try to find…
I have written several blogs about printing parts from 3D CAD models, but I still have not talked about capturing 3D data from the real world in order to reproduce it with a 3D printer.
Some great news from Objet this week! Objet has just announced that they are now accepting waste resin generated by the Desktop, Eden and Connex printers. Previously we could return only the used resin cartridges to Objet and we had to find our own solution for the waste. Here is a link to the Objet website…
Once you have your 3D printer installed at your facility, you will realize how easy it is to start printing your prototypes. Assuming that you are familiar with modeling 3D parts in a CAD software, the process is very straight forward. The key for printing excellent models is to export a high quality STL file….
It is always interesting to compare a machine specification against its actual performance. We used a digital caliper to measure a reference part built in our Connex 500 3D printer, in order to verify if its overall dimensions were within an acceptable range. We found amazing results: The machine brochure states a typical accuracy of…
