Thermoplastics: A Solid Choice For 3D Printing

When designing a new product, engineers can best predict its end performance by prototyping with a material as similar to it as possible. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) thermoplastics use the same types of raw materials found in injection molding - and that’s why 3D printing is a wise choice. You’ll learn the unique properties of each thermoplastic and find out how these aspects can help you choose the right material.

Racing to the Finish with Additive Manufacturing

Learn how to fuel your in-house design and manufacturing processes by using Additive Manufacturing. Fine tune your ideas to chop weeks from your design process and help your company save money. Test form, fit and function, explore one iteration after another, and let FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Systems take the heat. That’s what the engineers at Joe Gibbs Racing do. As one of NASCAR’s most recognized teams, JGR has just three days to diagnose a problem, find a solution, and implement it before the car ships to the next race. Learn how you can apply the lessons of the fast-paced world of racing to your job.

Injection Molding vs. Direct Digital Manufacturing: How to Pick the Winning Technology for Low-Volume Production

Low-volume manufacturing can mean producing anything from 1 part to 5,000 parts. In some cases, it’s possible to reduce low-volume production costs by 50%, 75%, and even more, by replacing traditional tooling with direct digital manufacturing (DDM). But DDM isn’t for every application. Attend this webinar to determine whether this alternate process makes sense for your organization. If it’s right, you’ll learn how to become a hero to your CFO by showing how to reduce ongoing production costs.
