What does it look like to begin a build in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing? That is, what is involved in loading powder metal and setting up the machine? During a visit to Eplus3D’s North American headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas, we asked the team to walk through the setup steps. The resulting video shows loading powder, leveling the build plate and bed, and other pre-build steps on the company’s EP-M300 dual-laser metal AM system.

Machine tool maker Matsuura recently aided the developer of a new medical device in getting to production of a critical injection-molded plastic component. The part was hampered by injection molding cycle times that were too long due to inadequate cooling, as well as inconsistent success in injection molding because of the difficulty filling the nylon 66 material into the deepest features of the mold.

“In the oil and gas industry, we drill as deep as the aerospace industry goes high,” says Arash Shadravan, Ph.D., global VP of the Energy Business Unit for polymer additive manufacturing (AM) equipment maker Roboze (Bari, Italy). Arash Shadravan is part of the Roboze team working to aid adoption of polymer composite materials such as carbon fiber polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in oil and gas manufacturing. PEEK components in oil and gas are often machined from solid.

The first book I finished reading in the new year is a science fiction classic whose title includes a type of machine tool. (It is actually the only SF title I can think of that fits this description, so you likely either know the book at once, or have no idea.)
Can you form metal with a plastic tool? 3D printed polymer sheet metal tooling at East West Industries One simple thing I appreciate about this video: It shows the die in action! If you are unfamiliar with sheet metal forming, take a look at the video
On #NationalTechnologyDay, we look back on the incredible advancements in additive manufacturing and the significant role the @Stratasys Fortus 450mc and Fortus F370 3D printers have played in our operations. These high-tech 3D printers have not only allowed us to reduce https://t.co/NfaV3NL9RV
