We’re accustomed to covering the use of 3D printing in casting, usually as a lost-PLA former in metal casting. That’s not the only use of the technique though, and perhaps one of the simplest ...

D printing has moved beyond conformal cooling, and is being applied to injection molds more broadly. Observations on tooling ...

have a short list of tips for getting the best results when 3D printing molds on filament-based printers. A mold is put into direct, prolonged contact with a hot sheet of semi-molten plastic.

GROB-WERKE GmbH and Siegfried Hofmann GmbH are working together to improve the production of aluminum particle foam molds ...

One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid prototyping uses three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design to quickly fabricate a part or, alternatively, a sand mold for ...

The Figure 4 135 solution — both the printer and material — is available for immediate ordering.

CW editor-in-chief Scott Francis discusses trends in aerospace on display at JEC World — as the composites industry awaits a new single aisle aircraft program, the industry puts continued focus on new ...
