Mechatronic S.r.l. is an industrial equipment manufacturer. Their core business involves the design and production of machines for industrial painting plants, some of which they manufacture in large quantities, but most orders are for custom machines. Because of this, they need a reliable and fast way to make custom parts.

There are polymers, and then there are superpolymers. Superpolymers are so-named because they exhibit exceptional characteristics in specific areas, such as mechanical or chemical. These might include tensile strength, flexural strength, chemical resistance, a high strength-to-weight ratio or a desirable FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity) rating. In any case, the

Sir James M. Barrie once said nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. I think we can all relate to this when it comes to decorating, which can be enjoyable or a bit of a slog depending on your mindset. Something that helps make decorating

It’s incredible to think that just twenty years ago, 3D printing high-quality models on a machine the size of a paper printer was unheard of. The first stereolithography 3D printer, a brute of a model made by 3D Systems in 1987, stood at over 5ft tall. It was effective, but

Developing a product from scratch is an inherently arduous process that goes beyond sketching ideas and creating a few models. To create a retail-ready product, a significant amount of prototyping is required. Some companies manufacture hundreds of prototypes for a single product, so they can experience and test different product

It’s the end of the year and the end of a decade. The zeroes (or naughties) are over and the twenties have begun. What will 3D printing have in store for us over the next ten years? That’s anybody’s guess. We’d love to have a time machine so we could

Mobile robots like drones are advancing at a rapid rate, and the traditional manufacturing techniques used to make them are struggling to keep up. 3D printing has found added value in the robotics industry for this reason. It enables rapid prototyping and small series production of parts without the
