When Rogers Corporation exhibits at the 2022 IMS in Denver beginning June 21, it will be showcasing its most recently released products in Booth #2030 including Radix 3D Printable Dielectrics and RO4835IND LoPro Laminates. Radix 3D Printable Dielectric is a 3D material featuring a dielectric constant of 2.8 and low loss characteristics at microwave frequencies. […]

The metal 3D printing landscape is “Perfectly imperfect,” says research from IDTechEx. On one hand, the diversity in metal additive manufacturing technologies enables complex geometries and opens unique applications that no other manufacturing technique can reach. But these technologies are by no means infallible, and metal AM is ripe for improvement. In a benchmarking study, […]

Formlabs announced it has launched Formlabs Dental Academy, a new educational platform dedicated to advancing 3D printing in dentistry with online and in-person courses, step-by-step guides, webinars, and more. The platform includes free and paid courses designed to enable dental professionals, such as dental lab technicians, orthodontists, and clinicians to learn and successfully implement 3D […]

Making both CAD renderings and BOM information available to all systems on the factory floor and outside its doors cuts costs and raises productivity, whether the product is new or remanufactured. Jean Thilmany, Senior Editor For many years, a three-dimensional product remained locked inside the computer-aided design system, meaning only the engineers who had designed […]

When creating a part for injection molding, an important step is to consider where you will put the “parting line” in the design of the mold. The parting line indicates the direction of the line of draw for the mold, or the point where you can separate the two halves of the mold to release […]
