…of some features in the plastic attachments for the 2-mm device. Traditionally, a company such as UVision360 would have had to build stainless steel tools for injection molding the complex parts. However, that process would have added several months to the prototyping process. The company turned to Protolabs’ micro-resolution SLA 3D printing process and MicroFine Green thermoset resin to build…

…in materials. Historically, resin and plastics were at the forefront of 3D printing. However, metals have recently been introduced to the industry, which means even the most complex parts will no longer need to be shipped from warehouses far away. Instead, they’ll be printed in-house – thereby eliminating a lengthy supply chain. Let’s explore how the pioneers of 3D production…

…that what they’re doing in plastic prototyping can carry over to metal AM, but it doesn’t work that way,” Brigden says. Simulation can play a pivotal role in helping organizations reimagine designs and optimize parts for metal AM printing, notes Brent Stucker, director of AM at ANSYS. In fact, the concept behind the company’s Additive Manufacturing Simulation Suite was to…

…most processes that use high-strength plastics. The composition is one of the more isotropic available from additive manufacturing. How does the technology work? SLS uses a blade to spread a thin layer of powder over the build volume. A laser sinters the cross-section of the part, fusing the powder together. The z stage then drops one layer, and the process…
