Mag­net­ic Pol­ish­ing for Met­al 3D Print­ing Parts: What You Need to Know In met­al addi­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing, fin­ish­ing parts is tough. 3D print­ing cre­ates com­plex geome­tries beau­ti­ful­ly. But sur­faces often have flaws. These include lay­er lines and pow­der adhe­sion. Micro-poros­i­­ty and sup­port scars are also com­mon. Tra­di­tion­al meth­ods strug­gle with such intri­cate shapes. Mag­net­ic pol­ish­ing offers …

Threads in 3D Print­ed Parts: Meth­ods for Strong and Reli­able Con­nec­tions With the rise of addi­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing, engi­neers and design­ers have begun incor­po­rat­ing threads in 3D print­ed parts to enable mod­u­lar­i­ty and func­tion­al­i­ty. How­ev­er, 3D print­ing intro­duces unique challenges—layer adhe­sion issues, mate­r­i­al strength lim­i­ta­tions, and pre­ci­sion constraints—that can make direct­ly print­ed threads unre­li­able. For­tu­nate­ly, there …
