Industry: Jewellery Application: Casting, Prototyping Benefits of 3D Printing: – Reduced casting costs – Reduced product lead times – In-house production – Newfound design flexibility For many jewellers, 3D printing is a new concept. For others, the idea of printing jewellery prototypes in-house, at minimal cost, has appealed for some

Industry: Manufacturing Application: Tooling and Custom Fixtures Benefits of 3D Printing: Reduced costs by 80-90% Reduced lead times from 2-3 weeks to 1 day Pankl Racing Systems manufacture custom high-performance engine and drivetrain components for the aerospace industry and racing cars, including for Formula 1.

Every 3D printing material, and every technology, has an application. Whether that’s to create jigs, jaws and fixtures, or casings for consumer electronics, there’s always something. Nylon, perhaps, is the most versatile of all materials. But, the Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printers that can print it offer limited performance. This

Stereolithography is excellent for creating detailed prints, but up until now the colour choice has been limited. Today Formlabs have released Colour Kit  – a system of a base resin and coloured pigments, as part of their experimental Form X program. Example Uses The Colour Kit is a huge time saver

Back in October last year, Formlabs announced three new engineering resins for the Form 2: High-Temp, Tough and Durable. At the time, it was announced that Durable Resin would be available to purchase from January 2017 and Formlabs stuck to their word, announcing availability on January 31st. Formlabs published a useful

Formlabs are always improving their 3D printers and the materials that they print with, and the Massachusetts-based company came good today with some interesting announcements at CES. They announced a new version of their most popular resin – Grey Resin – and they announced a new experimental product platform called
