HP 3D Printing’s Post

Ever wonder why you need strong support during metal 3D printing? During the printing process, the uneven rapid cooling of the printed layers induces a large amount of residual stress. Without strong supports, the part can warp upwards, potentially damaging the whole build. With Materialise Magics, cone/tree supports can be added to critical areas to provide strong anchoring against warping and reduce residual stress by conducting heat away from the part to the platform. Check out this video to learn more about how it's done! For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gYbn-rZA #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #Materialise #Magics

Like any other technology, 3D printing can be prone to issues and malfunctions. But having an idea of these issues beforehand might help you solve the issues faster. Let's explore some common issues you may encounter and how to address them. https://bit.ly/3ZeChza #3d #3dprint #3dprinting #technology #education #3dmodeling

When we think of 3D printing, we often think of producing one-offs, such as prototypes, or low-volume production at best. But there are application areas where you can use this technology for mass production. 👉 Here are five examples: https://lnkd.in/dF7pCrpK #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #massproduction

Ever asked yourself which 3D printing technology is the right one for your application? If yes, we tried to simplify the decision process as much as possible and created a flowchart for that. It’s a very simplified approach but might give some an idea where to look.

All of these #3Dprinted parts all started out as powder. They were printed using HP 3D Printing's proprietary MJF (multi-jet fusion) process. #MJF works by fusing layers of power material with an adhesive to produce durable polymer parts that are suitable for end-use purposes. The materials shown here are: rigid nylon (PA11 and PA12), extra-rigid glass-filled nylon, and rubber-like TPU. Fun fact: Jett 3D was named after the #3D jetting process. #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #digitalmanufacturing #3ddesign #tech #technology #innovation #futurism #3dprint #3dmodeling

Fascinating to consider how, in scale, this could improve production speeds and quality, while reducing costs, and increasing structural integrity.

Probably the most frequent question we get about our tooling is “What is the tool life of a Catalysis 3D printed tool”

Emissions extraction is as crucial as temperature control in 3D printing. BOFA systems help filter the nanoparticles and VOCs emitted during the process, contributing to a high-quality product finish and a healthier work environment.

3D printing has allowed businesses to print products while reducing downtime. But did you know they can add risk to your business? https://lnkd.in/gmD7vJWF One potential risk is that some printing processes, such as Power Bed Fusion, are hazardous. During this process, laser heat is applied to powdered raw material to produce a solid, creating potential fire and safety hazards.
