3D Printed Face Shields for COVID-19
We just recently finished another 3D printing project here at Cimquest that helped out our local medical community amid the COVID-19 crisis. This time we printed and assembled 94 face shields that we donated to Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, NJ. Jimmy Barrera purchased the plastic face shields, Cimquest printed the headband portion that holds the shields. Those headbands were designed by Avid Product Development specifically for the HP 4200/5200 MJF printers. We printed them in our HP 5200 MJF 3D printer out of PA12 (Nylon12) at our headquarters in Branchburg, NJ. Once all the headbands were printed, Jimmy and his wife assembled the face shields at home and hand-delivered them to Morristown Medical Center where his sister works as an RN. In Jimmy's words: "What an experience! There truly is no greater joy than giving!" Cimquest has printed 400 more headbands since and we are making plans to assemble and donate them to other hospitals and clinics that are still in dire need of these.

Lubrizol’s Powder TPU for 3D Printing Passes Skin Sensitization Tests
reprint from https://www.digitalengineering247.com/ This enables ESTANE 3D TPU M95A to be a material solution for product designers exploring 3DP for end-use applications that require skin contact. Lubrizol’s 3D TPU is part of the material solutions for polymer powder bed fusion 3D printing. Image courtesy of Lubrizol. Lubrizol Engineered Polymers' new ESTANE 3D TPU M95A powder TPU has passed skin sensitization and cytotoxicity tests in accordance with ISO 10993-5 and 10993-10. This enables ESTANE 3D TPU M95A to be a material solution for product designers exploring 3DP for end-use applications that require skin contact. This achievement builds on Lubrizol’s aim to develop innovative materials safe for use in skin contact applications—from consumer products to medical devices, the company says. Skin contact suitability is the latest attribute to round out a broader list of benefits that ESTANE 3D TPU M95A brings to applications, including high levels of flexibility, durability, impact and chemical resistance, and energy rebound. Commercially available, ESTANE 3D TPU M95A is certified for use on the HP Jet Fusion 4200 series 3D printing solution. With an existing installed base, 3DP can be immediately deployed to help solve critical supply shortages for personal protection equipment needed to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. “After [...]
HP, packing density, does it really matter?
HP, packing density, does it really matter? One of the parameters that is monitored by HP before sending a build to the MJF printer is “packing density”...but how much does it really matter? Join us as we take a closer look into the effects of pack density on your production, and discuss the pros and cons of both ends of the packing density spectrum. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/05p45vfzaa?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
Verisurf – Inspection Software Running Inside of Mastercam
Verisurf - Inspection Software Running Inside of Mastercam - On Demand Webinar In the first chapter of this webinar series we will exhibit the use of Master 3D Gage. We will demonstrate applying targets to a model to execute a 3-2-1 Alignment by way of using a 5mm Renishaw Ruby probe. Once aligned, we will use the BUILD module to verify the alignment and manually check coordinate locations on the model as well as establish how to check multiple features using the MEASURE module." https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/gvoqc228xe?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
