Glass-Filled Nylon: 4 Things You Need to Know

Glass-Filled Nylon is stiffer than regular nylon-12, because of the glass infill along the entirety of the part. This infill drastically prevents warping and breaking, especially for larger parts. Glass-Filled Nylon parts are highly heat resistant, which allows them to operate under elevated temperatures, making them ideal for uses in the aerospace industry, as well […]

Here’s How to Get Your Multi-Material Part Ready to Print

If a part is to be printed in a multi-material, then the part is designed in CAD as an assembly. Each section of the part that is to be printed in a different material is created as its own part file, then integrated into the final assembly to make the multi-material part. Note: mated parts […]

How Much Does a Metal 3D Printer Cost?

One of the most important metal 3D printer costs is that of the raw materials. Metals for 3D printing are often far more expensive than other forms of the same metal. This is due to special processing and purity requirements. In addition to the raw material itself, some metal 3D printers require inert gas which […]

Getting Your Part Ready for Binder Jetting

Metal Binder Jetting (BJ3D) is an additive manufacturing process that builds parts in a composite metal that is 60% stainless steel and 40% bronze. Using a CAD file, a machine will 3D print a part cross-section by cross-section at 0.004” (0.1mm) layers by precisely depositing binder in a stainless steel powder bed. BJ3D uses 316L/Bronze, […]

Heat Creep in 3D Printing: Definition, Causes, and Solutions

Heat creep is a problem that happens in hot extrusion 3D printing processes (FDM (fused deposition modeling) and FFF (fused filament fabrication). It is the unwanted travel of heat up the filament from the hot end. There are a variety of possible causes for this, but several can combine, so it’s important to evaluate all […]

The difference between industrial display screen and ordinary display screen

In the electronic display world, we often hear the terms “industrial display screen” and “commercial display screen”. Some people may wonder, what is the difference between the two? Obviously, these differences sometimes remain not only between the environment of use and the final consumer, but also in the design and production of the product. Industrial […]

Silicon carbide production process?

The silicon carbide sand is crushed to the appropriate particle size, additives are added for batching, pressed and molded and dried at low temperature. After the moisture content reaches the required level, it is fired in a kiln. After the temperature is raised to 1450°C according to the corresponding temperature control requirements, it is properly […]

What material is silicon carbide?

silicon carbide (Silicon Carbide, SiC for short) is a ceramic material with high hardness, high strength, high corrosion resistance and high temperature stability. It is composed of two elements, silicon (Si) and carbon (C), and its chemical formula is SiC. Silicon carbide materials can be divided into two main types: crystalline and amorphous. Crystalline silicon […]
