Design for Additive Manufacturing
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,…
In this article learn how 3D printing / additive manufacturing with a Stratasys F770 in the heavy equipment industry addresses common manufacturing challenges and reduces costs compared to traditional manufacturing and CNC machining. While processes like machining, molding and casting have proven to be reliable…
In the final post of my three part series on creating a custom oil pressure gauge holder for my car, I cover the finishing touches to my SOLIDWORKS model file, and 3D printing a physical end-use part. If you haven’t read my previous two posts,…
Design for Additive Manufacturing with SOLIDWORKS Simulation Topology Study
Additive manufacturing is no longer a bleeding edge technology; this powerful method is being used across countless industries, for applications ranging from rapid prototyping to jigs/fixtures and production end-use parts. Widespread adoption of the materials and geometric freedom provided by additive manufacturing pushes the boundaries of…
