Injection molding simulation – the way to produce precise parts! An essential factor for efficiency is precision in component production!In our everyday lives, we take the use of countless important items for granted – whether these be the housing of a high-quality smartphone, an acoustically optimized sound bar or the safety-relevant components of a car dashboard. Applying their know-how, product design engineers repeatedly develop innovations like these on their computers. And they naturally have to be brought to market in as profitable a manner as possible. But the route from the idea through to serial production can differ greatly in...

The FabPro 1000 - 3D System’s high-quality, affordable entry level printer - is now even more versatile, thanks to a new flexible material: FabPro Elastic BLK. It is a black elastomeric thermoplastic, suitable for prototyping and designing a wide variety of elastomeric parts. Combined with the FabPro 1000’s productivity and part quality, this material accelerates the design and iteration of new concepts with rubber-like prototypes for industrial and consumer goods applications.      What types of part is suited for? It boasts excellent compressive characteristics, making it ideal for vibration dampening components and other compressive applications, such as: overmolds,...

We’re excited to welcome the latest edition to our ever-growing collection of 3D printers. This month, we received our Sinterit Lisa PRO, one of the most powerful and versatile SLS 3D printers on the market. Before the invention of the Sinterit Lisa, SLS 3D printing had been restricted to only the largest companies and factories. The Sinterit Lisa brought SLS 3D printing into the realm of desktop 3D printers. The Sinterit Lisa PRO brings several major improvements on the previous version. Not only is the build volume bigger, but the included nitrogen chamber allows users to experiment with a much...
