Tensile strength: Additive manufacturing vs Injection molding

Posted By Phil Lambert on May 14, 2014

This is the final installment of the “Material Considerations for Additive Manufacturing of Polymers” series investigating the tensile performance of polymers processed with Additive Manufacturing. To quickly recap, Part 1 of this series described two AM manufacturing technologies, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and introduced two materials that the FDM and SLS systems can process. Part 2 examined...

Tensile properties of materials: FDM printer & SLS printer

Posted By Phil Lambert on May 14, 2014

As was mentioned in “Material Considerations for Additive Manufacturing of Polymers: Part 1”, the material properties of a part manufactured via AM do not necessary reflect the material data sheet that the manufacturers release. Luckily for designers and engineers, researchers have been working to identify trends in the properties of parts printed by the different systems. Part 2 looks specifically at tensile properties of materials...

SLS method & FDM process for 3D printing with Plastic

Posted By Phil Lambert on May 13, 2014

Hi Everyone, I’m Phil. This week, we’re starting a new series of posts on material considerations for 3D printing with plastic. When designing parts you intend to 3D print, being aware of the material (or system) you plan on building your part with is critical to successful fabrication. There are fundamental differences in the way that each system builds 3D parts, which means not only are there different design and...

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the 3D Printing Cloud Engine: Vol.1

Posted By Arthur Cassaignau on May 12, 2014

Hello Everyone, I’m Arthur, Business Developer at Sculpteo, and I’d like to talk about the integration of Sculpteo’s 3D Printing Cloud Engine. It’s been over a year now since I joined Sculpteo, and I’ve seen hundreds of Cloud Integration projects. Some were successful and some weren’t. It came to my mind that now might be a good time to start a series of posts to guide you “through” the...

Get your hands on your 3D printed HD selfie!

Posted By Arthur Cassaignau on May 9, 2014

They’re new, hot and everywhere? 3D printed selfies are the next big thing. We would be lying if we told you that nobody in the office wants one, because the truth is no matter how much people say they don’t, everybody wants one. We created a new offer for you to get scanned in our French HQ.  If you want to get yourself scanned, we’ve created a new meeting every two weeks in our Parisian HQ. A professional, equipped...
