Quad Lock: Smartphone-mounting solution developed with 3D printing

With features such as multiple lenses, image stabilization, and advanced software, modern smartphones can produce images that rival the quality of professional cameras. Because of high levels of vibration, however, photos and videos taken on a smartphone while riding a motorcycle tend not to achieve this quality – not to mention the risks posed to phones that aren’t properly secured during such activities. These challenges sent Melbourne-based company Quad Lock on a mission to develop a solution that would keep smartphones safe and protected – while maintaining professional photographic image quality. The mission’s result? The Quad Lock Vibration Dampener, a...

Hänssler Group Achieves Great Reproducibility of ESD Performance and Dimensional Accuracy Using Kimya’s ABS-ESD on Ultimaker S5

Ultimaker, the global leader in professional 3D printing, today announced that Hänssler Group, German experts in sealing technology, plastics technology and additive manufacturing, uses the Ultimaker S5 and Kimya’s ABS-ESD to cost-effectively produce 300 highly accurate sealant parts annually with anti-electrostatic properties. These parts, designed to be integrated within an existing production line, provide thermal protection between two components within a machine. The optimized material printing profile combined with the Ultimaker S5, result in parts with minimal batch-to-batch dimensional variation and untouched ESD performance. Surface defects impact ESD performance, which would inevitably alter the dissipation of charges. Therefore, Hänssler’s parts must be...

INTRODUCING POLYMAKER POLYTERRA PLA

PolyTerra™ PLA is a bioplastic 3D printing filament designed from the ground up to create the next generation of environmentally friendly filaments. Polymaker has combined organic minerals with PLA which significantly reduces the plastic content producing a more environmentally friendly 3D printing material.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLASHFORGE CREATOR X AND CREATOR PRO 2

INTRODUCTION We can't deny that Creator X of Flashforge had been very useful for every FDM 3D Printer users as the predecessor of Creator Pro printers. As technology evolves over time, there are several features improved from one printer to another. Creator X was an old 3D printer hardware launched by Flashforge 3D back in 2013. It was then upgraded to a series of Creator Pro 3D printers which started in 2016. Because of the open source technology, the original Creator has been proven to be a high quality 3D printer. With various enhancements done from the original model, the...
