Dive Into Advanced AM Insights
Unlock deeper AM knowledge through our blog articles, where we share experiments, applications, DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) tips, and advanced troubleshooting insights.
From materials testing to workflow optimisation, these blogs are built to give you practical takeaways you can apply to your projects and help you get more from your AM investment.
Whether you’re exploring how to redesign tooling for 3D printing, investigating materials for specific applications, or looking to enhance your in-house AM capability, our blogs will guide you with real-world examples and tested know-how.
No Tooling. No Assembly. Explore the Versatility of Nylon 12
From precision mounts to rugged housings, Nylon 12 is a single material with wide reaching applications.
Capable of printing multi-part assemblies in one, lightweight designs, and print-in-place mechanisms, SLS technology combined with this material, can be used for prototypes, tooling and end-use parts.
