This blog post will take a look at a part that we recently printed on the Desktop Metal Shop System and then finished machined in our CNC manufacturing lab. The holder shown above is used to fixture multiple sensors for taking measurements in industrial equipment. It was printed in 17-4 PH stainless steel on the Shop System with a technology known as metal binder jetting. This process uses a binding agent to bond loose metal [...]

Let’s take a look at the new Formlabs Nylon 12 Glass Filled powder 3D printing material. As applications for 3D printing continue to evolve, engineers are requiring a wide palette of materials to meet their needs. And with new gaps in supply chains appearing every day, there’s an increasing demand for functional in-house production. Formlabs Nylon 12 Glass Filled on the Fuse 1 can help make in-house production a reality. Here are some of the [...]
Production Metal 3D Printing- Part 3 in the Acceleration of Metal 3D Printing Series This is a three part webinar series, culminating with a live event in New Jersey on April 28th. Metal Additive Manufacturing has become the hottest growth engine in the 3D printing Space. With its increased accessibility, variety of technologies, and breadth of material options, metal additive can give you an edge in highly competitive marketplaces. In Part 3 we'll dive deep [...]
In any CNC milling machine, the workpiece and cutting tool move along set axes to cut out parts. How they move and in which directions is dependent on which type of machining center they are. Here are the differences between horizontal and vertical CNC machines. Horizontal CNC Milling A horizontal milling machine, also known as a horizontal machining center or HMC, features a cutting tool that is oriented horizontally. Their horizontal design allows chips to [...]
Metal Additive Manufacturing has become the hottest growth segment of the 3D printing industry. With its increased accessibility, variety of technologies, and breadth of material options, metal additive manufacturing can give you an edge in highly competitive marketplaces. But it’s also a field of great mystery to many. Here is a chance to learn more about it. We just completed our 3-part educational webinar series called ‘Acceleration of Metal 3D Printing,’ This series introduced this [...]
