3D printing is an incredible tool for prototyping and development, but the properties of the materials can be a limiting factor for functional parts. [Sam Rogers] and colleagues at [AX Technologies] ...

3D printing became a reality when Charles Hull patented his Stereolithography (SLA) printer back in 1986, which was capable of printing only acrylic-based 3D objects. However, 3D printing supports a ...

Linear motion components provide the foundation for smooth axis movement on a machine tool. Here are factors to consider when choosing machines with linear motion components that are durable and ...

Additive manufacturing specialist 3D Systems has developed a production-grade acrylate resin for use with its stereolithography (SLA) technology it reports is the first material to produce large-scale ...

Understanding the basic limitations of 3D printing will allow issues to be corrected before they are submitted for an analysis and a quote. While 3D printing has a reputation for offering an infinite ...
