3D printing with plastics and resins is great for quickly prototyping parts with all manner of geometries, but strength and durability of the parts produced is often limited. One way around this is to ...

In any casting process it becomes tough to judge the exact cause of defects because they are quite perceptive in nature. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the process parameters ...

The problem part in question was a manifold, a major component in vehicles. Gravity casting is used to make these aluminum manifolds. Machining and polymer infiltration processes are also used in ...

You don’t usually see a woman in the lead role in a science fiction film. Sandra Bullock’s lead role as a medical engineer on her first space shuttle mission in the space thriller Gravity is a rare ...

Gravity casting aluminum in permanent molds beats conventional sand and pressure die casting. Today, gravity-fed permanent metal molds can produce near-net-shape parts from a variety of aluminum ...

The second process is used in the foundries for producing cast products. This is the oldest and simplest (in theory but not in practice) means of manufacturing shaped components. Other techniques, ...

3D printing with plastics and resins is great for quickly prototyping parts with all manner of geometries, but strength and durability of the parts produced is often limited. One way around this is to ...

Resin casting is a plastic casting process where liquid synthetic resin is filled in mold and allowed to harden. Traditionally this process is chiefly used for small- scale production such as ...
