Formlabs Announces New Elastic Resin Material

By |2019-01-09T08:04:41-05:00January 9th, 2019|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, FormLabs, News / Promos|0 Comments

Formlabs just announced their latest new engineering resin. This soft engineering resin (50A Shore durometer) is suitable for prototyping parts normally produced with silicone that need to bend, stretch and compress. Due to its high elongation (160%) and good tear strength (19.1kN/m) it will hold up to repeated cycles without tearing. Elastic resin is also translucent which is ideal for healthcare and medical applications where visual simulation is required. Please click the button below for [...]

Moldex3D Tech Tip: Import Curves

By |2019-01-02T09:39:22-05:00January 2nd, 2019|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Tech Tips|0 Comments

Import Curves in Moldex3D for Quick Venting Setting Moldex3D’s pre-processing tools enable you to set venting. The main purpose of venting is to allow the air trapped during the injection molding process to escape and prevent surface defects, such as burning, flash, short shots and air traps, and severe volume shrinkage. Importing curves in Moldex3D’s venting setting eliminates the need for manually selecting the venting boundary. It provides you with a more streamlined workflow, reducing [...]
