Post-processing techniques like sanding and smoothing can improve the look and feel of your

Published on February 24, 2023 Modern medicine relies on a variety of different tools and instruments. Ranging from flexible tubing to gauze to durable metal clamps and prosthetic limbs, these devices take many shapes. Just as the FDA regulates which materials can be used in our food and drug supply

Published on March 23, 2023 A common challenge when designing parts for injection molding is factoring in cooling rates for distinct areas within a part’s design. In order for the mold to eject the part properly, of course it must be cooled. However, with high-volume or geometrically-complex parts,

About EPU 45EPU 45 is a new energy-damping elastomer developed by the material science engineers at Carbon. It prints four times faster than traditional elastomeric polyurethanes and is a strain-rate sensitive material that stiffens to absorb energy at higher impact rates, enabling the design of hig

Published on November 6, 2023 When designing a part, it’s important to understand critical differences between comparable materials. For instance, substituting a thermoplastic instead of a thermoset to create a product that’s meant to withstand high temperatures would have disastrous results. The te

Published on January 18, 2024 Injection molding is an efficient production method when high volumes of identical parts are needed. However, it also requires a high degree of technical expertise to master. With so many different variables in play, small, seemingly minor mistakes in early phases of pr
