Integrated Hinges – Print Once, Function Forever Traditional mechanical assemblies often rely on discrete hinges that must be assembled post-manufacturing using pins, screws, or other fasteners. Additive manufacturing flips this approach on its head... Feb 13, 2026
Ultra-Fine Internal Channels: Redefining Heat Exchanger Design with Metal AM One of the most powerful capabilities of metal additive manufacturing is the ability to create ultra-fine internal channels, geometries that were previously impossible with traditional manufacturing. ... Jan 14, 2026
Myth vs Fact: AM Can Outperform Machining for Complex Parts There’s a persistent myth in manufacturing that metal 3D printing is always more expensive than traditional machining. While this may hold true for simple, high-volume parts, the economics shift drast... Dec 18, 2025
Did you know you can simulate cooling performance before mold production? When manufacturing high-performance injection molds, cooling performance is often a hidden variable that directly impacts cycle time, part quality, and tooling life. Fortunately, engineers don’t have ... Nov 25, 2025
From Machined to Printed Manifold: Reducing Assembly Steps Redesigning a traditionally machined manifold into a single 3D-printed part unlocks a range of benefits for manufacturers. Instead of fabricating multiple components and welding or bolting them togeth... Nov 11, 2025
Conformal Cooling: Elevating Mold Tooling with Smarter Channels Conformal cooling is revolutionizing the way we approach mold tooling design. Unlike traditional straight-line cooling systems, conformal cooling follows the complex geometry of the mold cavity. This ... Oct 23, 2025
