Design for Additive Manufacturing: Internal Features and Channels

By |2021-04-14T08:33:48-04:00April 14th, 2021|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|0 Comments

Additive manufacturing is rapidly rewriting the rules of how metal parts are made, and it’s doing it with the help of a new design language - Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM). Developed to take advantage of the enormous design freedom that comes with 3D printing, DfAM allows manufacturers to unlock a host of benefits - from highly complex geometry to the use of generative design tools to the ability to create internal features and channels [...]

Tooling-free Manufacturing with Desktop Metal

By |2021-03-24T08:19:22-04:00March 24th, 2021|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|0 Comments

Without the need to manufacture jigs, fixtures, or molds, engineers and designers can go from design to functional part in as little as a day. If needed, designers can print multiple versions of a part, then quickly iterate on the design based on functional testing results. The speed and accessibility of additive manufacturing allows design teams to go through dozens of design iterations in as little as a week. Once part designs are finalized, binder [...]
