Metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has revolutionised the way industries manufacture and design their products. By creating intricate, strong, and lightweight components, this innovative technology has opened up new possibilities and advantages for various sectors. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of metal 3D printing and discover how it has…
Read MoreSturdy Cycles ramps up production with RAM3D
On our recent drive through the English countryside to visit Tom Sturdy in 2022, it was clear to see how the villages with their twisty lanes and hilly terrain were perfect for a riding enthusiast. As an ex-professional triathlete, it seemed the ideal place for Tom (and his Sturdy Cycles customers) to test his Fiadh,…
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 MoreSuccessful Collaboration with Autodesk and Peter Rogers!
Issues with current software: The software we were using in late 2019 didn’t allow us to create and manufacture the way we needed. Our Workshop Manager knew Peter Rogers from Autodesk and contacted him to ask his advice. The Solution: Fusion 360 with Netfabb® software offers a complete toolset for design and implementation for additive…
Read MoreHeat Treatments and what they are used for
One of the additional services we offer is heat treatment. Heat treatments are used to increase hardness, temperature resistance, strength & ductility. The metals we print can be treated in the same way as machined parts. This means if there is a specific heat treatment you require, it is likely we can offer that on-site. …
