Direct rapid soft tooling molds that last up to 20 shots
Micro additive manufacturing (AM) technology developer, Nanofabrica, recently achieved success in trials of its development of direct rapid soft tooling (DRST). The company accomplished a breakthrough that enabled the printing of a mold that lasted 20 shots, with plans to increase this to 1000 shots in the coming months. In its recent experiments, Nanofabrica (which […]
How does micro additive manufacturing work?
The ability to 3D print single micron resolution parts in mass quantities was a challenge until recently. Thanks to several technical innovations, however, it is now possible. The innovations needed came in hardware, software, and materials. Nanofabrica is a developer of micro additive manufacturing platforms. The hardware the company uses consists of a digital light […]
Using additive manufacturing to make micro optical components
Nanofabrica’s additive manufacturing (AM) platform may be the first micron-level resolution AM technology that operates cost-effectively and repeatably, making it an industrial production alternative to traditional manufacturing processes such as micro moulding. Micron resolution can be achieved on centimetre-sized parts, and thousands of parts and components can be made in a single build, making the […]
How small can additive technology build?
A new technology exists at the intersection of additive manufacturing and micro manufacturing. It is opening up the possibility for manufacturers to take advantage of the inherent advantages of AM while achieving micron level accuracy over a build envelope of 5 x 5 x 10 cm.
