Unplanned machine downtime is a horror for any engineer, especially as a failed component can, with a bit of bad luck, lead to serious damage of the machine. The associated costs and effort cause considerable trouble for many companies. Very few manufacturers are in a position to state the expected service life of their components. […]
It is a designer’s worst-case scenario: days and weeks go by to design and manufacture an injection mould. When production finally begins and the first component falls out of the mould, one gets a nasty surprise. The surface of the moulding has dents that not only look unsightly but also impair the function. Why is […]
Even a small spark in a potentially explosive atmosphere, can have devastating consequences for personnel and the entire plant. However, friction – especially friction of moving plastic components against each other – causes sparks. In order to permanently protect these components from irreversible damage, a controlled discharge is necessary. This means that materials with defined […]
A CAD configurator has many advantages. It shortens tedious recurring design work and saves time and money with simple use and consistent data quality. Basically, our 3D printing CAD configurators enable a fast implementation of a variant-rich wear-resistant part by determining individually selected and valid product features. Thereby it is very important to configure a […]
Everything except the small: students Robina and Chris’ 3D printer has a 2 x 2 x 2 metre installation space. We are enthusiastic about the 3D Goliath – and support the young industrial designers with free equipment. We all know about home 3D printers, compact devices no bigger than a microwave oven that print plastic gadgets […]
