Formlabs response to Covid-19 – Webinars on Demand
Formlabs response to Covid-19 - Webinars on Demand In this On Demand Webinar that aired on April 14th, you’ll discover how Formlabs revamped its 3D printer farm to produce 100K Covid-19 Test Swabs per day. By teaming up with Northwell Health and the University of Southern Florida Health, they were able to develop and optimize the design in only one week. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/55ln9jfnnw?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
Geomagic Reverse Engineering – Modeling Wizards
Geomagic Reverse Engineering - Modeling Wizards In this webinar on demand we demonstrate how Batch processing in Control X can be used to create one inspection process that can be applied to multiple parts and or scans automatically with the advantageous component of it being an unmanned process. Watch as we uncover how to develop a singular Control X inspection program then capitalize on it by using it for any other subsequent inspections. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/3rlrxoysep?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
Tough 2000 Resin by Formlabs
Tough 2000 Resin is a reformulation of Formlab’s popular Tough Resin, offering more advanced mechanical properties and a new dark grey finish. Compared to Tough Resin, this material reformulation brings: Reduced brittle failures: Increased elongation by more than 100%. Improved strength and stiffness: Increased flexural strength and flexural modulus by roughly 15%. Better performance at elevated temperatures: Increased heat deflection temperature by roughly 25%. Professional-looking parts: New grey color. Tough 2000 Resin is the strongest and stiffest material in the functional family of Tough and Durable Resins, with “2000” representing the material’s tensile modulus. In developing this material, Formlabs simultaneously improved elongation, strength, and stiffness, which are typically competing for mechanical properties. It is ideal for: Strong and stiff prototypes Jigs and fixtures requiring minimal deflection Simulating the strength and stiffness of ABS Applications Choose Tough 2000 Resin for prototyping strong and sturdy parts that should not bend easily, such as housings and enclosures, jigs and fixtures, mechanical connectors, and prototypes undergoing wear and tear.

Nexa3D 3D Printing Material Options
There are many 3D printing material options currently available for the Nexa3D NXE 400. Nexa3D’s Ultra-Fast solution is a game-changer for engineers looking to boost their speed and throughput. With the ability to print 1 vertical inch every 2¹/2 minutes, the NXE 400 is ideal at producing large models or high volumes of parts in quick-turn fashion on a consistent basis. Let’s take a look at the material options that are currently available. The first material is a functional ABS-like material which is great for injection molding molds. It offers low shrinkage and stronger durability that is ideal for gauges and fixtures. It is also primed for plating or painting and renders finely crafted details. The next material is a tough translucent option. It has no water uptake with high accuracy, ideal for performance prototypes and functional end-use parts. The material is also a great fit for air ducts, fluid flow models, and snap fits. Gray material offers high details and an excellent surface finish. It can be used for rapid iterations of prototypes, form fit and functional analysis. Additionally, it is effective for demonstration and communication, topology optimization studies and more. It features industrial-grade durability and assembly. The final current offering is [...]
Cleaning HP Parts
HP Multijet Fusion technology is known for its high-quality parts with near isotropic qualities and performance. The advances offered by Multi Jet Fusion can add up to major advantages, including: Better mechanical performance Significant cost savings with batch manufacturing Accelerated time to market with faster build speeds On the back end of getting such great parts, there is post-processing that needs to be done. Whether support removal, sanding, bead blasting or bathing it needs to be done on any 3D printed part. With HP MJF technology, there is no support to remove but there is a powder residue. We can remove it manually or automated. Powder removal is a mandatory post-processing procedure in the HP MJF 3D Printing workflow. It is done in order to get rid of the remaining powder attached to the part after removal from the cake. It is necessary as part of the cleaning process after printing. Workflow To remove this excess of powder, bead blasting is necessary. After the job is finished, the parts are “unpacked” and removed from the build chamber then brought to a bead-blasting machine. Even though most of the powder is removed from the surface, a thin layer of material will often remain attached [...]
