Inkjet nozzle plates are one of the most important components of inkjet print heads, as the quality of the nozzle plates directly determines the resulting printing performance of the whole system. This article introduces what an inkjet nozzle plate is, how this important component works, and how it is manufactured.
To get the most out of your FDM parts, you’ll need to apply some finishing touches. This can involve support removal, sanding, vapor smoothing, and other steps.
The beauty of additive manufacturing is in the flexibility these technologies provide in terms of scale, shape, and materials. Building know-how on software has allowed Caracol to leverage these skills and adapt them to working with robotics for LFAM on different processes - from its proprietary thermoplastic/composite pellet extrusion Heron AM to introducing Metal with WAAM.
In 3D printing, achieving consistent and high-quality prints requires more than just a good printer and filament. Calibration and quality control are essential components that can make or break your 3D printing experience. In this article, we will explore the importance of calibration and quality control through test prints of common shapes.
