3D printing has taken the manufacturing industry by storm. It provides manufacturers with an innovative and cost-effective way of creating complex components and parts. However, one of the biggest challenges in 3D printing is finding materials that can withstand high temperature applications. Especially, those that would make it possible to print parts used in extreme […]
Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is a precision metal casting process that uses a hollow, sacrificial mold to produce high-precision metal parts. With the integration of additive manufacturing techniques, investment casting has become even more efficient and versatile. The process starts with a 3D printed wax pattern. A slurry then coats the wax […]
Let’s talk about Additive Manufacturing vs. Subtractive Manufacturing. To begin, additive manufacturing is the end-to-end process that creates products using 3D printing technology. This process includes proper design, slicing, and supports along with post processing necessary to produce a finished product. Subtractive manufacturing on the other hand, removes material by cutting, boring, drilling or grinding […]
