Key topics include: - Designing drones for specific applications - Optimizing designs for 3D printing - Choosing the right 3D printing technology and materials - Creating functional assemblies - Operating 3D printed drones Register Now: https://bit.ly/3QGXcaF

  • Formlabs 3D printing materials for sheet metal forming: 1. Formlabs Rigid 10 Resin was selected for this use case because of its high tensile strength (75 MPa) and tensile modulus, which provides good stiffness that helped the tools withstand high loads without deformation. However, it would not handle wear for impact loading used for embossed parts because of its lower impact strength If impact strength is important for your application. 2. Formlabs Tough 2000 Resin, Tough 1500 Resin, and Durable Resin are all great choices when lower forces and dynamic loading are involved Thanks to their great impact strength, these resins absorb the impact energy without breaking and should withstand wear, hammering, and embossing treatments better than Rigid Resin. 3. Formlabs Fast Model Resin ( up to 100 mm/h print speed) shows a less smooth surface finish but can be a good alternative when in need of a quick print to test the die geometry first. Research conducted by Shane Wighton. 3D printed with Formlabs hardware and materials. Check out the 15-minute video on his YouTube channel 'Stuff Made Here' for great lessons learned!

  • Artus3D in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands, provides orthotists with an all-in-one solution for creating hand orthotics, combining software and in-house production in multiple materials. Artus3D has seven years of experience in the orthotic space, and began by outsourcing their 3D printing. But finding service providers who would print in TPU was difficult, and Artus3D kept running into hurdles including reliability and shipping times — that is until last year, when they discovered the Fuse 1+ 30W selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer and TPU 90A Powder. For Artus3D, bringing SLS 3D printing in-house gave them more control over their production, allowing them to save both time and resources. “Control over the entire process is the biggest advantage for us, but also the speed. For now, if we get enough orders today, we can put it in the printer today and ship it tomorrow, so that's a big game changer for us.” Lars Broxterman, Sales and Production Manager at Artus3D Learn more: https://bit.ly/4hDkbyY

    Ever wondered why Formlabs chose MSLA over DLP for the Form 4 series? One of our users asked this on the Formlabs Forums, and our Hardware Engineering Lead, Andrew Goldman, jumped in with a detailed behind-the-curtains response of the factors we took into consideration to build Form 4. If you’re curious about the trade-offs between these technologies, check out the full thread below, and if you ever have a burning question about our printers, the Forums are the best place to ask. You might even hear straight from the engineers who built them, or win some free Formlabs merch! Forum thread: https://bit.ly/3CYyf7q

  • Ken Pillonel is the man behind the popular engineering channel Exploring the Simulation, but he’s also a one-man plastics factory. When faced with forced obsolescence and an expensive headphones case rapidly becoming un-chargeable, Ken designed his own solution — a product that solved one of the most annoying tech issues we face. But when he looked to get the product into people’s hands, the expense of traditional hardware production was insurmountable. Enter: the Fuse Series and Ken’s transformation into a true One-Man Factory. From concept, to design, to production and packaging, Ken has done it all, in just six months. He’ll share the why, how, and what, of SLS 3D printing and the road to consistent production. Join the Webinar LIVE on February 13th 11:00 AM EST to learn: - How to evaluate if a part will work for SLS - How to plan a scalable production schedule - How to compare injection molding quotes to SLS 3D printing - How to get set-up with the Fuse Series - How to choose an SLS material - How to plan a Fuse production-volume workflow And a live Q+A session at the end.
