The Digital Thread

Regardless of which drawing method you use, it's almost impossible to perfect it first time around. This is where DFM and DFAM come in...

Designers can benefit from integrating 3D printing and injection moulding for an end-to-end product life cycle from prototyping to production.

Part orientation is an important but often overlooked design requirement of 3D printing, especially for stereolithography (SLA). Let’s examine the factors that should be considered.

Traditional manufacturing methods often impose limitations on achieving intricate patterns and complex designs. However, advanced 3D printing technologies have opened up new possibilities for design engineers.

Learn the key differences between two popular polymer 3D printing processes—stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS).

Why is tolerancing critical in the moulding process? It ensures your parts are made accurately and function properly.
