Mold making pioneer reports significant time and cost efficiencies utilizing this approach for low volume production, enabling molders to quickly change inserts for different products MINNEAPOLIS & ...

Having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. As technology advances, it tends to become more accessible as it drops in price or increases user-friendliness. Once 3D ...

3D printing has revolutionized silicone mold making by enabling faster, more affordable, and highly detailed masters for casting. From hobbyists to engineers, creators can now iterate designs quickly ...

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 ...

Experiments that demonstrate 3D printing with dust, use engineered tissue to study muscle loss, and analyze growth of slime mold, along with other scientific studies and supplies, are headed to the ...

Additive manufacturing can describe two technologies in food production — the more commonly known is 3D printing, which has ...

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

In our previous installment, we mentioned how having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. This article will walk through how to make tooling with a low-cost 3D printer.
