Audi Sport:3D print tools, jigs and fixtures in one day instead of weeks
When the new Audi E-Tron GT was launched, the Audi Sport Böllinger Höfe plant in Heilbronn, Germany, quickly needed nearly 200 new tools, jigs and tooling. Designing these tools takes a lot of time, and outsourcing production can sometimes take weeks or even months. At this time, design automation and 3D printing provide Audi Sport […]
Five-axis machining | Achieve efficient processing of complex parts
Five-axis machining (5 Axis Machining), a mode of CNC machine tool processing. The machine tools used in five-axis machining are often called five-axis machine tools or five-axis machining centers. Five-axis machine tools can process different sides of the workpiece without changing the position of the workpiece on the machine tool, which can greatly improve the […]

21 metal surface finishes types for custom CNC parts
1、Micro arc oxidation Micro-arc oxidation, also known as micro-plasma oxidation, is a combination of electrolyte and corresponding electrical parameters. It relies on the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure generated by arc discharge on the surfaces of aluminum, magnesium, titanium and their alloys to grow mainly matrix metal oxides. ceramic film layer。 […]
8 common metal materials
Cast iron – fluidity Sewer covers are an inconspicuous part of our daily environment, and few people pay attention to them. The reason why cast iron has such a large number and wide range of uses is mainly due to its excellent fluidity and its ease of pouring into various complex shapes. Cast iron is […]
10 most commonly used metal 3D printing technology routes
A few years ago, 3D printing with metal was only used in industry. That has all changed now that metal 3D printing is now possible on desktop FDM 3D printers and more professional machines, producing high-quality parts at a more affordable price. △The Forge1 3D printer launched by Raise3D can print metal parts (Source: […]
Rapid prototyping stamples in Automotive
1、Rapid prototyping stamples in Automotive The original power of all models before new energy vehicles comes from steam power, which is the dynamics of the car’s stroke, or from the decomposition of molecules in petroleum into gasoline, which is used as the driving fuel for the car. As the earth’s oil is slowly entering a […]
What is 3D printing?
What is 3D printing 3D printing (3DP) is a type of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology that uses adhesive materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by printing layer by layer based on digital model files. 3D printing is usually achieved using digital technology material printers. It is often used […]
3D printing aluminum: a new material that can achieve lightweight, mass production applications in the future
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are considered to be one of the most promising materials for the next phase of the development of additive manufacturing into high-volume production applications. This is mainly due to aluminum’s excellent mechanical properties and low price compared to lightweight metals such as titanium alloys. However, the industrial application of additively manufactured […]
What is 3d printer
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an umbrella term that covers several distinct 3D printing processes. The technologies are worlds apart, but the key processes are the same. For example, all 3D printing starts with a digital model because the technology is inherently digital. A part or product is initially designed using computer-aided […]
