Learn how rapid manufacturing beats typical industrial wait periods. ARTICLE Speed kills. Global manufacturing continues to advance and if you are slow to […]
Finding the Right Tools for Prototyping on a Budget Need to get your prototype off the ground, but funds are tight? Here are some tools and tips to get going. Market prices have come down as technology has matured, and rapid prototyping and manufacturing prices are competitive. Instant quotes reduce the wait time for feedback […]
Rapid prototyping and 3D printing capabilities have helped many companies to turn many great ideas into amazing products quicker than ever before. A product that can take days to model can now only be visualized in a matter of minutes or hours. That feature has enabled many manufacturing firms to reduce their product lead times […]
Rapid prototyping refers to a set of processes that can easily fabricate a three-dimensional object into a prototype, directly from a CAD file through additive deposition of single cross-sectional layers of the part. It was introduced in late 1980’s.RP can be defined as a group of processes used to fabricate easily to a physical working […]
Acrylic (PMMA) is a highly desirable material due to its strength, toughness, and transparency. But relying on conventional machining processes to cut acrylic can be a complicated procedure: the material is highly fragile and any excess force can cause unwanted breakages. CNC machining, however, offers a reliable way to fabricate acrylic parts safely, with a […]
