Machined tooling contributes to the majority of production costs for many small-run jobs. 3D printing can reduce the cost of plastic cores, molds, and tooling, but there are several considerations to ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have co-developed a new way to precisely control the internal ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

This core was 3D printed from steel at Star Rapid using a Renishaw AM 250 printer. Product developers and engineers who design and manufacture plastic parts now have a powerful new weapon in their ...
