HP recently announced the release of a new printing system called the 5420W aimed at producing production-grade white parts ready for end use. These new printing capabilities will bring Multi Jet Fusion to new markets and applications that require consumer-grade components right off the machine.
HP just announced the release of a new Robust PA12 print mode for the 5200 3D printer. This print mode will prove to be a nice addition to the suite of existing print modes along with balanced and fast print modes. When you want to achieve the best possible combination of cosmetic finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical quality, this is going to be the print mode for you. These benefits have a place in every industry vertical that HP Jet Fusion currently serves.
3D printing has grown and changed a lot over the years, and through that time there have been common objections that we have seen here at Hawk Ridge Systems that simply are not relevant due to technological improvements over time. In today’s article, we are going to look at five common misconceptions about 3D printing.
Markforged 3D printed parts are known for looking great and being incredibly strong but are they watertight and airtight? We ended up doing a little experiment to find out the answer to this question using a series of printed pressure vessels out of Onyx material on the Markforged X7 3D printer. Each pressure vessel had different wall thicknesses ranging from 5mm down to 2mm thick. I have to admit, the results were surprising!
Selecting a proper infill structure for your Markforged 3D printed parts may not be something you have spent time considering as part of your design process. After all, the default print settings tend to be top-notch most of the time, why change it? In today’s article, we are going to look at the pros and cons of branching out to other infill patterns specifically on a Markforged 3D printer.
