Stratasys 3D Printing Information
Wondering what the difference is, or how SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform work together when it comes to 3D printing? In this video, we’ll be sending a part file from SOLIDWORKS to a 3D printer and using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to collaborate and communicate with team members. SOLIDWORKS Starting in SOLIDWORKS, we are ready to send…
In the last year, Stratasys released the all new Origin One 3D printer. This printer uses a Programmable Photopolymerization (P3) technology process and is capable of printing difficult geometries without supports, fine features, and large cross-sections, with excellent surface quality comparable to injection molding. However, like traditional manufacturing processes, there are guidelines that result in…
Proper maintenance your Stratasys PolyJet 3D printer is the most important way to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your machine. By disregarding these essential maintenance tips and procedures, you are guaranteed to have bad prints and malfunctioning parts! Here at TriMech, we don’t want to see your investment go to the scrapyard just…
Keeping a properly maintained and efficient running Stratasys FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D Printer takes time and a dedicated schedule so that your printer continues to reliably print parts as it did on day one. In the long run, a properly maintained printer is simply easier to run, more efficient, less trouble, offers better prints…
Optimizing part designs for 3D printing production relies heavily on using the right tools. SOLIDWORKS has taken the initiative to create a 3D design software environment that is intuitive and aids manufacturers in designing 3D printed parts. You can avoid additive manufacturing problems by leveraging SOLIDWORKS 3D design software tools, such as the Print3D feature,…
To help prevent 3D Print Warping the GrabCAD Print software now includes anchor columns. Let’s take a look at how this new feature works: 3D Printed Part Curling or Warping Most of the 3D Printing process issues such as part curling, or warping, have been addressed with hardware features such as heated build chambers and…
This segment picks up where we left off in this video series discussing how not all manufacturing processes are ideal candidates to be replaced directly with 3D printing. We want to demonstrate that the 3D printing process can still have a significant role in bringing those products to market. In the previous videos, I designed…
Additive Manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is one of the newest and most versatile manufacturing processes on the planet. It’s possible to 3D print thousands of different models, parts, or basically anything you want with an ever-growing number of different materials. However, as we demonstrate in this ongoing series, there are some scenarios where this…
There are times when 3D printing end-use parts does not offer economic or performance gains! There, I said it. While this may seem controversial to say for a company that is in the 3D printing business, TriMech is founded on the principle of candor and speaking honestly with our clients. We like to tell it…
