Materialise Manufacturing

Wondering how vacuum casting is used in the 3D printing world? First, we create a master copy using stereolithography, guaranteeing a high-quality surface finish. Next, the casting process is completed partially under a vacuum to avoid any bubble formation, ultimately curing the silicone until it’s ready to be cut. And finally, we’re left with a cavity that allows us to make copies. Vacuum casting: made easy at Materialise.

We all know the value 3D printing brings to aerospace. The question is, how do you take full advantage of it?     For Stirling Dynamics, it all begins with finding the right application, and their approach to spotting them is definitely worth following.

We love seeing how 3D printing empowers personalization in medtech — but today, we’re shining a light on something a little different. The little guys. The simple parts. The less-complex-but-equally-essential-bits-and-pieces that make the industry tick. AKA, the Unsung Heroes. Here’s why these unique applications are ideal candidates for 3D printing and why seeking them out is an untapped opportunity that’s too good to miss. https://mtls.am/4eQhxVe #Medtech #AdditiveManufacturing #Personalization #UnsungHeroes
