In this series I will be documenting my design and testing process for making a 3D printed arduino hexapod. This video goes over the new leg design, specifically a design for a 3D printed spring ...

Showing off the 3D-printed hydraulics system. (Credit: Indeterminate Design, YouTube) Hydraulics are incredibly versatile, but due to the pressures at which they operate, they are also rather ...

Thyssenkrupp and Wilhelmsen launched a 3D printing joint venture aimed at providing 3D-printed spare parts to the maritime industry. Mechanical parts wear out and break. It happens to cars, planes, ...

When one needs a spring, a 3D-printed version is maybe not one’s first choice. It might even be fair to say that printed springs are something one ends up making, rather than something one sets out to ...

Danfoss Power Solutions (Ames, Iowa, U.S.) wanted to reduce cost and lead time challenges with a machined aluminum bracket by redesigning it to use carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) made with its ...

Markforged (Waltham, Mass., U.S.) has developed a patent-pending, physics-based analysis method of analyzing part performance — called Performance Advisor — that recommends print settings that will ...

People often contact me because they want to 3D print a replacement part. The requests have been as mundane as a stove knob or as novel as a replacement crystal for a chandelier. Typically, they are ...
