In this video, I’ll show you the complete process of making a silicone mold from a 3D printed model and casting it in plaster ...
Traditionally, developing customized silicone parts has meant long lead times, mold-making, and limited design flexibility.
Michigan-based thermoformer Duo Form is shortening lead times and reducing costs by using 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing) to make custom molds. By leveraging additive manufacturing techniques ...
Have you ever played with Rose’s metal? It’s a fusible alloy of bismuth, lead, and tin with a low melting point of around 100 °C. Historically, it’s been used as a solder for cast iron railings and ...
A new metal 3D-printing system from San Francisco’s Mantle promises to dramatically reduce the time and cost of creating injection mold tooling. Using its patented TrueShape technology, Mantle’s ...
Inside a Tennessee laboratory, a robotic arm spent eight weeks 3D-printing a two-ton, six-foot-tall ...
Aiming to combat labor shortages, Lyons Industries has been gradually installing automated processes to replace the traditionally labor-intensive spray-up process for its fiberglass composite bathtubs ...
