Additive Manufacture: In-house 3D Printing versus Outsourced 3D Printing Service
In this 3-part series of articles, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of 3D printing / additive manufacturing (AM), where our main focus is empowering you to make informed decisions about how to engage with the technology across an ever-evolving landscape.
3D Printing Powers Wind Turbine Research At TU Berlin
On average, wind turbine blades are a massive 80 meters long. When it comes to reengineering these towering blades, no other technology offers the freedom, precision, and adaptability to scale parts quite like 3D printing.
Integrating 3d Printing Into Prototyping & Production Scenarios - an Interview With Iterate Design and Innovation
In this article, we discuss all things 3D printing with Gethin Roberts, Managing Director at ITERATE, and a 20 year plus veteran working in the rapid product development / 3D printing niche.
Unlocking the Value Potential of Additive Manufacturing
Still seen primarily as a prototyping technology, additive manufacturing is getting a boost from AI and machine learning software that can help with AM decision making.
Proving Out Metal AM for Distributed Manufacturing on a Global Scale
Network of contract manufacturers enables IMI Critical and Velo3D to print the same certified part in six locations and three different countries
Mattel Innovates the Toys of Tomorrow with MakerBot 3D Printers
Before having a 3D printer at his fingertips, Jack relied solely on the machine shop at the office to support his prototyping needs. Since other teams also utilized the machine shop, sometimes it would take days before he received his part back.
Metal Fabrication Shop Utilizes Efficient Production Method
When a client needs a prototype created quickly, longer-running fabrication jobs most likely will have to be be put on hold to make room for a rapid prototype manufacturing job.
The challenges of mass customization in manufacturing
Smart manufacturers have already been aware that mass customization can be the key to a profitable business, as it helps boost customer satisfaction and win brand loyalty.
Why Binder Jetting?
Besides being fast and capable of manufacturing complex shapes, binder jetting systems are also incredibly accurate.
Prestigious 140+ Year Old University Delivers Advanced Engineering and Technical Training With Method X
Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences enriches Additive Design and Manufacturing Courses with MakerBot 3D printers. Students use METHOD X for a range of prototyping applications in research and development, industry thesis projects, and more.
At Your Service: How Turnkey Solutions Help to Unlock Additive Manufacturing for All
One of the main trends previously predicted for 2021 is the accelerated adoption of turnkey solutions in additive manufacturing (AM). Moshe Molcho, CEO at LEO Lane, looks at how certain options can help OEMs adopt AM and examines the current offering of AM turnkey solutions.
3D Printing Will Soon Be a Game-Changer in the Manufacturing Industry. Here's Why
Until now, manufacturers have been dipping their toes and getting familiar with the technology, using it to create prototypes rather than final products. But that is changing. It's only a matter of time before AM makes the leap from prototyping to manufacturing.
Xcentric Mold offers Resources to Keep Design Skills Sharp for the Ramp Up
In a world waiting to take its next move after the COVID-19 pandemic, we'd like to offer you and your team design resources for injection molded parts to help keep skills sharp during this uncertain time.
Optimising Performance and Manufacturability for Additive Manufacturing
As there are more and more success stories associated with the use of AM as a production technology, scrutiny on the process is becoming increasingly forensic in nature.
MICRO-MOLDING: KEY SUPPLIER SELECTON CRITERIA
For companies that are exploring the possibilities that exist for miniaturization of plastic parts and components, there are some seemingly daunting obstacles that exist, not least the vagaries of the micro molding process itself.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
