While creating CNC parts using CNC milling, vacuum casting can be used to make rubber and plastic components. This is done through the use of silicone molds. Just like injection molding,…

The confusion between Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and Fused Filament Fabrication has been on for a while now. People keep wondering if they are the same. Some say they are,…

If your intention is to combine metals or plastics, then your best bet will be using a hydraulic press. Just admit it. It is one of the most useful machines…

3D prototyping or rapid prototyping is a process of product manufacturing that involves the fast manufacturing of a physical prototype. The prototype is altered in every step to make it better…

Sand casting is the oldest casting technique in the market, as it can be traced back to as early as 1000 B.C. This method led to the birth of other…

Metallic components are involved in defects during forging, a process that occurs when a metal is heated. It is then shaped using a plastic deformation process. A compressive force is applied…

Having to create prototypes can be quite a slow and expensive process. But this is slowly going extinct as there are certain techniques such as 3D printing that can help…

For a milling machine to function effectively as a whole, all the parts must be up and running. The secret to keeping a healthy machine part is to make sure…

When it comes to making model trees, a certain amount of time is consumed in the process. While some can take between 5 to 10 minutes to complete, offers may…

Whether thick or thin, cutting metal is a job that requires a lot of precision. It is also a job that requires making big decisions. One of them is choosing…
