Reverse Engineering a Can Holder

By |2018-06-27T08:39:57-04:00June 27th, 2018|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, 3D Scanning|

We reversed Engineered this 6-pack can holder which is great for quickly snapping cans on to it and easily carry them around. Here’s a brief overview of how we reverse engineered it, improved the design, and then optimized it for injection molding. First, we used 3D System’s Capture scanner to scan directly into Geomagic’s Design X. With a resolution of .110 mm, and an accuracy of .060 mm, we were able to capture even the [...]

Formlabs Introduces Ceramic Resin and Changes Everything

By |2018-06-13T08:14:22-04:00June 13th, 2018|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, FormLabs|

Formlabs formally recently announced a new ceramic resin for the Form 2 3D printer. This is a notable departure from their traditional materials, which have up to now been various types of photopolymers. While they’ve marketed strong, flexible and colorful materials, they’ve never released a ceramic resin, until now. Ceramic 3D prints are highly desirable in a number of situations, and are produced in quite a different manner. The Form 2’s normal photopolymer process simply [...]
