Additive Manufacturing Changes How We Think About Design

Cimquest Marketing — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 12:02:17 +0000

As 3D printing has become more and more mainstream, the traditional resource and skills barriers for manufacturing are all but vanishing. This trend is changing the very face of design. For the first time, producing complex products is no more difficult, expensive, or time-consuming than making simpler objects. 3D printing a block with holes, notches, [...]

Simplify Sacrificial Tooling with 3D Printing

Susan Gaffney — Fri, 12 May 2017 11:56:46 +0000

The Problem: Complex composite parts with hollow interiors are difficult to manufacture. Complex composite structures, with hollow interiors, present unique manufacturing challenges where internal tooling, generally referred to as a cores or mandrel, is required to define the hollow internal features. Any part configuration that traps the mandrel inside the composite part, requires sacrificial tooling* [...]
