In this blog, we’ll look at the advantages of Meltio’s metal DED printing process compared to powder-based AM technologies. While these powder processes offer numerous advantages, such as high resolution and the ability to work with a growing range of materials, they also come with their own set of challenges. Understanding these challenges is essential for evaluating the true potential of powder AM processes and finding ways to optimize their performance in real-world applications.
What if you could manufacture parts that are stronger, lighter, and faster to produce than ever before? Carbon fiber 3D printing makes this possible. Thanks to this solution, you can get components that last and truly excel. With a large carbon fiber 3D printer, you can produce high-quality components for multiple industries and various purposes that will serve for many years to come, helping you achieve your business goals more efficiently.
Choosing the right filament is one of the most important decisions in every 3D printing project. Some of the materials most commonly considered in this matter are PLA and ABS, two thermoplastics with distinct properties and multiple possible applications. Both of them are popular in FDM 3D printing, but they tend to be preferred for specific uses.
When it comes to delivering props and set pieces for the wide range of creative industries including TV and film, theater productions and theme parks, there's been considerable evolution in the methods and technologies used to produce professional props over recent years. Driven largely by the growing need for more precision, flexibility and the speed to deliver.
Choosing the right 3D printing partner can be the difference between a project’s success and failure. With the growing demand for custom manufacturing and rapid prototyping, many businesses are turning to 3D printing companies to bring their designs to life. But not all 3D printing partners are created equal. Here are five essential questions to ask when evaluating a potential partner.
In the fast-paced world of food and beverage manufacturing, companies are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and innovate their production processes. Additive manufacturing has emerged as a powerful tool to meet these demands, offering flexibility and speed in creating custom parts and tooling and keeping lines up and running. However, one critical barrier has restricted its adoption in this industry: the limited availability of food-contact certified filament materials.
In the modern manufacturing landscape, the quest for materials that combine the lightweight benefits of plastics with the strength and durability of metals is ever-present. This is where the Markforged FX10 and FX20 come into play, bridging the gap between metal and plastic through innovative composite printing. These advanced 3D printers stand out for their unmatched ability to produce robust, high-quality parts that meet demanding industrial needs. Here’s how the FX10 and FX20 can streamline your operation from prototype to production. Fostering innovation, shortening the development time frame, reducing costs, and position manufacturers as leaders in their industries.
When it comes to large-format 3D printing, the possibilities are vast. Whether you need rapid prototyping or custom manufacturing of end-use parts, large-format printing is revolutionizing industries like aerospace, automotive, construction and more. But with so many printers, materials and technologies to choose from, it can be overwhelming to select the right platform for your business. At EXBuild, we’ve done our research, carefully selecting top-tier technologies that deliver exceptional results for a wide range of applications.
In Fall 2023, we launched FX10 as a next generation composite printer. We promised modularity, but didn’t specify what modularity meant. Now, we can clarify. The modularity we were promising was Metal FFF capability – making FX10 the first industrial printer capable of printing composite and metal parts. FX10 was designed from the ground up to bring this dual capability to customers. In this blog post, we’ll talk about what it took to create the first industrial metal and composite 3D printer, and what it means for you as a potential user.
As a business invests in 3D printing, owning multiple types of printers provides a significant edge. The combination of a Photocentric resin printer and a Markforged carbon fiber printer creates a dynamic production environment, enabling you to take on various challenges. Here’s why you should consider having both in your shop:
