Two popular plastic materials used across industries for its transparency, but key differences exist based on your application.

Desktop 3D printers are an attractive option for some companies—but how well will they work for you?

What does the future hold for 3D printing within the medical industry?

Learn about the cost drivers for both services as parts move from prototyping to production.

Part density is always a concern for designers when choosing a material and manufacturing process.

New EDM technology rapidly removes printed parts from build plates, reducing cost and lead time.

Partnering with SEB to launch rocket with 3D-printed components

3D printing offers a wealth of opportunities to iterate rapid prototypes for testing and more.

3D printing is making major inroads into customising medical implants for individuals. It allows implant manufacturers and sometimes even hospitals to create complex geometries and patient specific solutions that saves the surgeon time and improves a patient’s outcome.

The crew at Hacksmith Industries are pros in taking fictional ideas from comics, movies, and video games, and making actual functioning prototypes. So naturally, we teamed up to help them create creating the world’s fastest grappling hook winch, made famous on The Mandalorian series.
