3D Printing

When comparing additive manufacturing techniques to its traditional predecessors, one challenge to anticipate is the contrasting differences in material properties. The chart to the left provides an overview of performance criteria and how 3D printing and CAE compare. Each 3D printing technique yields a different set of mechanical and thermal properties, as well as layer […]

There has been a noteworthy increase in the magnitude of technological advancements in the fields of medicine, academics, architecture and other verticals. 3D printing has played the role of a capeless hero in many cases. 3D printing technology has given many small-to-medium businesses, or SMBs, the opportunity to prototype quicker and better at an affordable

Unless you are living under a massive rock, we are sure you know what selfie means. Let’s just put it out there – selfie is a self-portrait captured by any camera. Selfies are fun and people tend to love a good self-portrait. If you are wondering about what has this got to do with 3D

Miniatures games have always been reserved for lifers. Lifers who spend hundreds of dollars on bags of disassembled pewter sculptures, put them together, and paint them in colors like “fuegan orange” and “leadbelcher.” It’s a hobby made by the deeply invested, for the deeply invested. Games Workshop manufactures the Warhammer series—one of the most popular

In this article, we show you how you can design parabolic reflectors from first principles with any CAD software. ApplicationsReflectors are used in applications like industrial lighting, stage spotlights, home lighting, signal collection in antennas, directional microphones, speaker enclosures, infrared heaters, ultrasound sensors, etc. The common geometrical shapes used are spherical, ellipsoidal, paraboloidal and hyperboloidal.

3D printing is increasingly making a name for itself in Hollywood as a prop developing tool, but it has now also reached the movie marketing department. As part of a marketing campaign for the huge stop motion hit Kubo and the Two Strings, which was released in August, Isobar and Astral bus stops in Toronto

3D printer filaments made from carbon fiber are the newest addition to the additive manufacturing industry and it is no surprise that manufacturers are eagerly accepting and implementing 3D printing with this incredible material. Manufacturing today is not what it used to be. With a shift to adapting technologies that are more convenient, affordable and
