Old school machinists, listen up, a newly developed technique for creating ceramic molds to a foundry-ready state for investment casting of intricate metal parts may disrupt the current process in a big way. We’re confident that our approach can lower costs by at least 25 percent and reduce the number of unusable waste parts by [...]
New Technology
As technology accelerates, some of the most amazing things are taken in stride as quite normal. Arthur C. Clarke’s famous quote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” is still true, but these days it’s harder to advance far enough to induce those magical feelings. Design an object and print it out in 3D [...]
Metallic glass popped up in the comments following our article about rapid prototyping and I thought I’d look into it since it was new to me and sounded like something quite a few of you would like to know about, too. Things are advancing so fast now, it’s hard to keep up, but this is [...]
We’ve talked about rapid prototyping before, 3D printing of intricate parts from various types of plastic or, in some cases, from metal where the durability of the finished product isn’t an issue. If only they could print production ready parts for manufactured items the potential of the process would be unleashed. Looks like we’re just [...]
