3D Printing
Stratasys and Desktop Metal 3D Printing Information
When many additive manufacturing (AM) users talk about the performance of a 3D printer, they often compare the maximum mechanical ‘speed’ of the printer itself, which is often measured by the length of toolpath it can extrude for a given time. While it is one of many metrics of estimating the performance, the mechanical speed…
Some of the main concerns our technical support team hears from our customers: “Why did my 3D printer stop in the middle of the print job?” “I must restart my print job wasting valuable time and materials?” “My 3D printer doesn’t even start now. Can you please help me?” All the above are related to…
If you want to use your 3D printer to help in the fight against COVID-19 with the production of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), medical devices, or components for medical equipment, like a ventilator, then you need to pick the right type of material. FDM Materials Ideally you want to use FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) materials…
When considering Additive for its speed, flexibility, and efficiency, examine how to extend these benefits through the final step of the process. Mitigating risk within supply chains is a goal that most manufacturers work toward improving incrementally. For this issue to be brought to the top of the priority list, it usually takes a major,…
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, there may be a need to shutdown your 3D printer for an undetermined amount of time. If this is the case, it is very important to follow the proper procedures for shutting down your 3D printer to avoid damage or downtime when the printer is powered back up. Below…
