What is Bound Metal Deposition (BMD)?
Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) is an extrusion-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) process where metal components are constructed by extrusion of a powder-filled thermoplastic media. Bound metal rods—metal powder held together by wax and polymer binder—are heated and extruded onto the build plate, shaping a part layer-by-layer. Once printed, the binder is removed via the debind process, and then sintered—causing the metal particles to densify. Prevalent metal AM technologies involve melting powder or wire feedstock using [...]
3D Printing Changing the Game
How TUM Boring Printed Strong Parts for their Tunnel Boring Machine TUM Boring team in Bastrop, Texas in April 2023. TUM Boring is a student organization from the Technische Universität Munchen composed of more than 60 students originating from 16+ countries. The group came together in 2020 to participate in the Not-a-Boring Competition 2021 from Elon Musk’s The Boring Company (TBC). The student-led team is dedicated to the future of mobility and aims [...]
Mastercam Drill Change at Point
Mastercam Drill Change at Point In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we examine a feature in the Mastercam Drill toolpath that allows you to edit toolpath motion for any single selected entity in that operation.

Ceramic Production Innovation via 3D Printed Prototypes
Artisans are increasing speed, reducing costs, and expanding flexibility by using 3D printers to create prototypes as opposed to traditional hand-made models. Chinese porcelain has always been loved by people all over the world for its unique beauty, among which the Southern Song Dynasty official kilns are very popular because of their elegance. Xiao Heqing, a ceramics manufacturing expert, inherited traditional ceramic skills and introduced 3D printing in the process of making porcelain from the [...]
