Desktop Metal Live Sinter

By |2023-05-10T08:11:51-04:00May 10th, 2023|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|

Desktop Metal Live Sinter produces quality parts that meet form and dimensional tolerances right out of the furnace, in one or two iterations. Today we’re going to show you an effective way to ensure that metal 3D-printed parts meet form and dimensional requirements right out of the furnace. Although metal 3D printing has many advantages, it can be challenging to predict the final part geometry due to the many physical forces introduced during the sintering [...]

Metrology Minute – Resizing Section Planes for Custom 2D Cross-Sections

By |2023-05-03T08:41:29-04:00May 3rd, 2023|Categories: Metrology Minute|

In this issue of our Metrology Minute, we will discuss how to resize section planes so that just the necessary geometry is displayed. This becomes extremely useful for very complex models where you want to draw the reviewer’s attention to a specific location on the model. In order to do this, the first thing we needed to do, in our example below, was to create the plane that we planned to use to create the [...]

Removing Xact Metal DMLS Supports

By |2023-05-02T10:55:28-04:00May 2nd, 2023|Categories: 2 Minute Tuesdays, 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, CQTV|

  Removing Xact Metal DMLS Supports In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we take a look at how to remove Xact Metal Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) supports from completed parts. In this video, we'll guide you through the process of safely and effectively separating supports from the build plate, removing supports from your metal 3D printed part, and cleaning up support touch points.

Freescan Combo 3D Scanner – New Kid on the Block

By |2023-05-02T09:22:58-04:00May 2nd, 2023|Categories: 3D Scanning, Inspection|

The Freescan Combo 3D Scanner is a multifunctional, hybrid light source, metrology-grade scanner. The tiny footprint makes scanning of tight quarters much more accessible than with traditional handheld scanners. By having four (4) working modes, the Combo is perhaps the most versatile, handheld scanner, on the market. In Laser mode, it offers multiple laser scanning options; multi-laser scanning (26 crossing lasers), single laser line scanning (for deep holes) fine line scanning (for very high resolution) and [...]
