Have you ever spent hours perfecting a 3D-printed design, only to struggle with attaching screws or bolts securely? It’s a frustrating experience that many makers and engineers face. Threads are ...
We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...
Sometimes, when making a 3D printed object, plastic just isn’t enough. Probably the most common addition to our prints is the ubiquitous brass threaded inset, which has proven its worth time and again ...
I'm working on 3d-printing a part that will mate a Fein shop vac to an enclosure for a CNC mill. The Fein has an externally-threaded nozzle attachment, so I'd like to print a matching ...
While searching for a realistic use case for additive manufacturing, the Siemens Industry team came across the steering knuckle in its eRods, which are essentially electric dune buggies. The original ...
