Considerations for designing living hinges in 3D-printed parts while maintaining part integrity.

As product development speeds up, metal 3D printing is changing the design rules for metal parts.

Learn how electrical discharge machining is used to fabricate injection molding tools with sharp features that cannot be machined with CNC milling.

Several considerations for designing plastic screw bosses on molded parts that are mechanically strong and free of cosmetic defects.

Learn how to improve 3D-printed part cosmetics and add color with post-production processes like dyeing and painting.

Learn why we use standardized toolsets across our CNC machining service and how it keeps manufacturing time as fast as possible.

5-axis indexed milling isn’t to be confused with true 5-axis machining, which allows for continuous machining of all three axes and the two rotational axes.

Look at part design, lifespan, cost, and inspection requirements when qualifying molding needs.

Product manufacturing information, or PMI, is critical to digital inspection reporting. PMI is any non-geometric data included within a 3D CAD file.

The most common misconceptions regarding our injection molding service and shed light on our low-volume production capabilities.
