The Digital Thread

Speed to market is key in product design. Here we break down how digital manufacturing achieves this with tips on sourcing the right digital supplier.

Explore the variables involved in calculating the cost of 3D-printed parts when using metal additive manufacturing technologies.

When you hear the term “over-engineering,” you probably think about all of those overly complicated products we’ve all encountered that seem too complex relative to their intended use. The confusing shower faucet controls. The washer or dryer with a dizzying array of counter-intuitive buttons and settings. Your new car’s baffling audio setup. Well, you get the idea.

Our new consultative design service addresses design feedback and gets your parts ready for manufacturability within our automated system.

Tensile strength testing for 3D printing materials determines how a material will behave under load.

Speed to react to a shifting economy is creating a new set of standards for product and process development. All this leads us to a new set of challenges causing a re-evaluation of strategies for design and process verification and validation.
