Read ArticleWe often get asked what the advantages and disadvantages of FDM printing are compared to other technologies. As with all processes there will be advantages of FDM in certain applications, whereas it may be at a disadvantage compared to another process for a different application. As an example, FDM is considerably cheaper and has significant […]
Read ArticleCan you 3d print ceramics? Yes of course you can. In fact, it has been possible for the last ten years or so. The process is growing in popularity as the material and printers become more accessible. Ranging from Porcelain, Hydroxyapatite, Alumina and Zirconia. Ceramic for very specialised applications include Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride (Si3N4), […]
Read ArticleCeramic 3D printing is the processes of depositing ceramic material layer by layer. Above all, anyone can now form a complex shape. Secondly, this is done without the use of expensive tooling. With the development of 3D printing its users have greater design options and are able to create otherwise impossible geometries. A number of […]
Read ArticleWhat is rapid prototyping? Rapid prototyping, 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing are all terms used to describe the process of depositing a material layer by layer to form a geometry without the use of tooling or machining. As a result it has become much easier, quicker and cost effective to design, iterate and develop parts. […]
Read ArticleSLA-vs-FDM-printing! We are often asked if Stereolithography (SLA) is better than Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) or vise versa. The same could be asked of a Range Rover Defender compared to a Ferrari. In both cases the answer depends on what it is you want to do with it! To discover the answer to sla-vs-fdm-printing use […]
Read ArticleOf all the 3D printing (AM) materials it must be that of 3D metal printing that ‘3D newbies’ consider to be black magic! Up there with the printing of body parts and guns! It seems to be an astounding sci-fi concept! Surely not an actual technology available for use by any engineer or 3D printing […]
