Read MoreThe Bike Makers’ Maker
What kinds of bike parts can be 3D printed? Of the 2,000-3,000+ parts we print every year for bike makers, more than 90% are Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V). The rest are generally 15-5PH Stainless Steel. (Why not so much in 316L Stainless Steel? Read one bike maker’s experience here: www.44bikes.com/builds/snakedriver-design-and-development/ ) In those materials, we have printed…

Read MoreBuild Direction and Orientation
When designing your part, keep in mind what way it needs to be orientated on the build plate. Not only will this help the part to build, it will reduce the need for support structures, post processing and provide you with a better part. Most people assume their part will be built with the most…
Read MoreHow the RAM3D Customer Process Works
Initial Client Contact Our initial contact with a client usually comes via a quote enquiry from an email or the online quoting system on our website. Occasionally there are clients who prefer to call us to discuss their project before sending us their part for quotation. Either way, it’s not until we see a CAD…
Read MoreDesigning an Aerospike Rocket Engine
Phil designed these Inconel 718 aerospike engines for Land Forces 2021. In addition to the defence samples we already have, we wanted to have some aerospace samples so we can show some design concepts. The purpose of this international expo was to showcase equipment, technology, and services for the armies of Australia and the Indo-Asia-Pacific.…
