3D printing can offer a wide range of advantages over more traditional manufacturing techniques. However, in general there are four major areas where it can come out in front of those processes.

Why 3D Print?

New 3D printing technology Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) may appear to be a replacement for selective laser sintering (SLS) after all both build parts from thermoplastic nylon but MJF is faster, more precise and produces more consistent mechanical properties throughout the part.

MJF vs SLS 3D printing - A head-to-head comparison

This video will look at a common problem when designing parts for injection moulding, undercuts. The most common piece of advice you will get, is avoid them if you can, but sometimes you can’t. With this in mind, we will give a handful of tips that can help alleviate design issues caused by them.
