Stratasys 3D Printing Information
DMLS 3D printing is a powder-bed fusion system utilizing the laser power as the heat source to melt a layer of evenly distributed metal powder. The laser is directed by a mirror to selectively scan over a path defined by the CAD file. The powder layer thickness can be adjusted and usually is set as…
Stratasys FDM machines utilize real thermoplastic resins, real strong, tough materials for real applications. Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printing technology is a premier choice for creating complicated parts that need to stand up to repeated use, drilling, tapping and getting banged up. Watch the video below to learn six FDM 3D printing tips and techniques…
In the kingdom of 3D printing FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) has long reigned as the most well-known and accessible technology. However, the tides are changing as technology grows and more options become accessible. TriMech has offerings in several areas of 3D printing technologies including FDM, P3 (Programmable Photo-Polymerization), SL (stereolithography), SAF (Selective Absorption Fusion), and…
It is no secret that additive manufacturing is becoming a quintessential practice amongst manufacturers, engineers and designers alike, especially as the fragility of supply chains becomes so abundantly clear. As the mainstream market adopts additive manufacturing into their workflow to support basic prototyping and/or work holding solutions, innovative companies are realizing the potential of additive…

3D Printing has enabled many of the world’s most demanding industries to break into new areas of manufacturing and production with materials that can withstand the harshest environments. As market demand for low-mid volume manufacturing surges due to economic and environmental pressures, the focal point of additive manufacturing has shifted material development to include mechanical…
When 3D printing there are times when you just can’t get your part to fit inside of the build volume of your 3D printer. Watch the video below to learn three techniques for splitting large parts (and putting them back together again!). You can flip your part around, run it on a funny angle, or…
Three medical pitches. Five lions. Half a million dollars. Three teams competed for a chance to win money for healthcare innovation. The premise of the show was similar to Dragon’s Den, where each team had one chance to pitch their ideas to a panel of lions (aka judges) to convince them to invest in their…
