Stratasys F370 3D Printer Used to Create Drone Prototypes

By |2017-04-21T08:55:37-04:00April 21st, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

Designers at Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer Toy State International found a way to utilize 3D printing in ways that were beneficial and supportive to their business needs. The recently begun to use the Stratasys F370 3D Printer to create drone prototypes. Prior to using an FDM 3D printer, Toy State would outsource their functional prototyping projects, leading to a much lengthier time-to-market for products developed by the company. But with the F370 incorporated into the [...]

Print 30% Faster with MakerBot MinFill

By |2017-04-19T08:52:37-04:00April 19th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Stratasys|

Now you can bring your ideas to life faster for less with this major breakthrough in MakerBot Print. Introducing MakerBot MinFill, a dynamic new Print Mode that is the first of its kind in 3D printing. Short for “Minimum Infill,” MinFill uses an intelligent algorithm to determine the absolute minimum amount of support needed for the inside of any 3D print. Not all prints need to be durable, dense, or heavy. When surface quality and [...]

AccuSmooth Post Processing

By |2017-04-12T09:00:41-04:00April 12th, 2017|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg|

The AccuSmooth post-processing solution can produce a smooth, polished ¬finish on your 3D printed parts. Through the process, parts are dipped into a vapor tank containing a liquid that is brought to boiling point. The vapor rises and melts away the part surface, eliminating all layer lines. It only takes a few seconds and you’re left with a sharp ¬finished look similar to that of traditional molding technologies. AccuSmooth Benefits include: Easy setup and simple [...]

Improving Aesthetics of a Scanned Mesh

By |2017-04-10T09:10:21-04:00April 10th, 2017|Categories: 3D Scanning, Tech Tips|

In this blog post we will discuss how to improve the quality of your STL to produce better 3D Printed parts. The STL, or Stereo Lithography file format, is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D Printing, and CAM. An STL file describes the surface geometry of a 3D object by triangulating the vertices on each face of the object. At times though, the STL file may contain errors, small holes, imperfections, and blemishes as shown [...]
