The future of additive manufacturing in aviation and aerospace
Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, has revolutionised various industrial sectors, including aviation and aerospace. These two sectors are characterised by precision, reliability and weight optimisation. Throughout this article, we will explore why this technology is so beneficial in these sectors and how it is expected to continue advancing over time. Advantages of additive […]
3D printing in copper: A revolution in metal manufacturing
Today, 3D printing has revolutionised the way we think about manufacturing objects, opening up a world of possibilities for companies in the industrial sector and many others. Initially, it focused on plastic, but over time, metal gained ground, allowing companies to create complex components that demonstrated unprecedented precision and efficiency. Currently, there is one metal […]
Common plastics in 3D printing
PLA, ABS, and ASA are three of the most commonly used plastics in 3D printing. However, although all three are thermoplastic polymers (they flow when heat is applied) that can be printed with varying degrees of ease, they have very different properties that determine their applications. Polylactic acid (PLA) comes from natural sources such as […]
How do I know if conformal cooling is a long-term solution for me?
For conformal cooling to be a long-lasting solution, two main objectives must be met: The first is to achieve a high flow volume through all cooling channels. If the flow velocity is reduced in one area, the suspended particles begin to clump together and clog a cooling channel. This process can be minimised with a […]
