While CNC machining and casting are traditional manufacturing methods for metal parts, metal 3D printing offers an alternative way by extruding high content metal filament or solidifying metal powder on a build plate. As an additive process, 3D printing requires no part-specific tools or moulds other than supports printed during production. 3D printing is a …
Rather than extruding thermoplastic in layers, stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers cure layers of liquid resin with a laser on the build platform to create solid models. Resins are liquid polymers that mimic the performance of thermoplastics or have a one-use purpose, like jewellery casting. The significant advantage of SLA is the laser is not restricted …

Just as sculptors take clay and manipulate it, digital sculptors work with a computer, mouse, and software to produce 3D models. 3D sculpting software bridges the gap between physical sculpting and 3D modelling, letting artists sculpt 3D objects by pushing, pulling, smoothing, grabbing, and pinching digitised clay to produce real-life models in software. While 3D …

Failures are part and parcel of 3D printing, especially early on as you hone your skills. However, design challenges and spontaneous hardware hiccups and catch professional out too. While there’s no way to guarantee zero failures, you can reduce them by knowing the common causes and acting on them. For example, bed adhesion is the …

Cumbria Police’s dog unit is trialling helmet-mounted cameras on dogs to collect evidence during operations and give handlers live intel on the ground. Police dogs are trained to assist the police with apprehending suspects, detecting drugs, searching for evidence, and providing crime deterrence and protection. Still, there needs to be more information between what the …
