Over the course of one year, our predictable way of life was shifted into a new way of living due to COVID-19. In the blink of an eye, healthcare, schools, businesses, and government entities were thrown into unfamiliar conditions and restrictions. Manufacturing was...
3D printing manufacturing is an additive manufacturing process where a 3D printer uses a computer aided design (CAD) drawing to produce a physical part or assembly. With 3D printing technology, designers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers can take advantage...
We have mentioned rapid prototypes a few times in our previous articles. 3D printing manufacturing allows designers and engineers to run through an iterative design process quickly. With 3D printing, they can add in a physical part or assemblies to improve those...
As 3D printing manufacturing continues to grow in popularity, many people ask, “Will 3D printing manufacturing replace CNC machining?” The good news is that it doesn’t have to. Both 3D printing and CNC machining have their place in manufacturing. The key is to know...
The cost effectiveness of 3D printing manufacturing will depend on the part complexity and volume required for a project. For many manufacturing jobs, including prototypes, iterative designs, and replacement parts, 3D printing is the cheaper option. Once high volumes...
3D Printing Manufacturing has many advantages over injection mold manufacturing, as well as many benefits to manufacturers, engineers and designers. From fully manufactured assemblies to parts within parts, 3D printing manufacturing offers you the ability to print...
Injection molding has been around for a long time and continues to be a great choice for manufacturers. But what about 3D Multijet fusion manufacturing? Will 3D printing manufacturing replace injection molding? The answer depends on several factors, but in quantities...
Using the additive printing process of HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, we can deliver 3D printed interlocking parts and assemblies to our customers. This process reduces the number of SKUs required and eliminates assembly parts. It also offers...
There is a lot of excitement around 3D MultiJet Fusion technology and what it might mean for engineers and manufacturers — and entrepreneurs! And we’re just as excited, here at Athena 3D Manufacturing. So, let’s take a look at how 3D printing will change...
