A Guide to Thermoforming
What is thermoforming? We explain this manufacturing method, its benefits, applications, and how it applies to our metamaterial composites.
How we built a compression thermoformer for rapid prototyping
We needed a faster, more efficient way to create metamaterial composite cores. So we built our own compression thermoformer.
Metal additive manufacturing: The pros and cons of 3 different methods
What is metal additive manufacturing and how do different methods compare? In this article we discuss bound metal 3d printing, laser powder bed fusion, and hybrid additive CNC – and discuss the relative benefits and disadvantages of each.
Solving real-world engineering problems with captured metal 3D printing
Quick and convenient, 3D printing has a problem: poor quality attachments. Can captured metal 3D printing overcome this issue?
3D printing prototypes: Turning ideas into items
3D printing is an essential prototyping and manufacturing method we use in the development of our mechanical metamaterials. But what is 3D printing exactly and how is it helpful?
Smart manufacturing of 3D printed prototypes
How we created an automated temperature controlled enclosure for our 3D printers using smart manufacturing methods.
