3D Printing Watertight Parts at NOAA
To fight coral reef loss, scientists and researchers at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and their partner institutions are utilizing innovative methods to survey coral in the wild, reproduce certain conditions under controlled settings in labs, and then cultivate new species of coral that can better withstand the extreme environments of today.
The AOML has turned to 3D printing to facilitate their field and lab research. Using Formlabs printers has helped to standardize, as […]
CNC Milling Versus CNC Turning – What’s the Difference?
CNC milling and CNC turning are the most commonly used machining styles in any given shop. Both rely on computer numerical control (CNC) programming, which directs the movement of a cutting machine along a predetermined path. Essentially, a CNC machine uses computer programming to cut away material in a specific way. The result is a part that is accurate and repeatable.
Milling and turning […]

Why Post-Processing Is Important in 3D Printing
A reprint from https://www.3dnatives.com/
When we talk about 3D printing, it goes without saying that most would think first about the actual printing process. However, additive manufacturing comprises several stages, from modeling to final part, including design and optimization, slicing, 3D printing and post-processing. As post-processing is the final step, carried out after additive manufacturing of a part, it is the one that […]
Analyze Large Bores with Control X Geometry Deviation
The Geometry Deviation tool in Control X may be used to compare all the parameters of an analytic feature in a scan to the nominal CAD model. This tool provides the ability to thoroughly analyze cylinders whereby the values for both the nominal CAD model and the paired (scan) data are compared. In many cases, the most common feature to check is a cylinder. In this Metrology Minute we are going to show you how […]
