There are many different materials available for 3D printing and today we are going to talk about ULTEM 9085, which is a production grade thermoplastic used for high-performance parts. Known for its reliability, ULTEM 9085 has superior thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties. This thermoplastic is flame-retardant with a high FST rating. This certification paired with Ultem’s high strength-to weight ratio makes it ideal for aerospace and automotive applications, particularly in commercial airplanes and marine and [...]

In previous versions there were no options to manipulate the flange length, but you can now freely drag flange edges to the desired length.
We recently had a full class attending our Mastercam Mill Essentials in our Sterling, MA office. The students learned the basics of the Mastercam icon functions, geometry, and toolpath creation that led them through programming many different parts from start to finish. They learned the foundational principles of basic 2½ axis tool paths and reinforced them by programming many real world examples. Here is what a couple of students had to say about their experience: [...]
Vascular disease is a common malady affecting the blood vessels, and ultimately posing a risk to every organ in the human body. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death, accounting for more than 17.3 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030. Treatment options available have been steadily evolving from traditional open surgery to more minimally invasive, [...]
Cimquest recently exhibited at the Atlantic Design & Manufacturing Expo (ADS), which took place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. This show delivered the latest innovations in engineering software and 3D printing and Cimquest took the opportunity to display some great new technology. From our 3D printers and scanners to inspection devices and even CAD/CAM, we were able to exhibit the full manufacturing solution. One of the biggest highlights in our [...]
Total output from American manufacturing relative to gross domestic product is back to pre-recession levels, with more than half a million new jobs. Global manufacturing executives predict that by 2020, the U.S. will be the most competitive manufacturing economy in the world. Cheap labor is no longer the most important input for manufacturers. Success in the manufacturing sector can be attributed to the availability of advanced technologies/materials and strong protection of intellectual properties. The U.S. [...]
Stratasys is showcasing a unique 3D printed chair designed by the late Zaha Hadid, with Patrick Schumacher, at a retrospective of Hadid’s work in Venice. The 10-room exhibition, set to run until November 27 as part of the Venice Architecture Biennale, celebrates the life and works of the world-renowned architect, who passed away earlier this year. Since the development of the original 3D printed prototype in 2014, the chair has been featured in various exhibitions [...]
