Medical extrusion providers are increasingly expected to produce complex, close-tolerance tubing that meets the functional design requirements of minimally invasive stent- and catheter ...

How does a design go from the computer screen to something you hold in your hand? Not being able to fully answer this question is a huge risk in manufacturing because . One of the important tools ...

H = all minus. For example, 25.40mm diameter bar to h9 = + Nil, -0.052mm j = equal. For example, 38.10mm hexagonal bar to j10 = + 0.050mm,-0.050mm k = all plus. For example, 160mm hot rolled bar to ...

Composite bearings are employed in a diverse array of industries due to their strength, wear and friction characteristics, as well as their capacity to operate efficiently without the use of external ...

The world’s fastest digital manufacturer of custom prototypes and low-volume production parts is helping to make life easier for design engineers by guaranteeing specific dimensional tolerances for ...

A new standard establishes guidelines for documenting digital 3D models. The recent ASME standard Y14.41 establishes requirements, exceptions, and guidelines for documenting digital solid models in 3D ...

In manufacturing, the devil is in the details—and the smallest oversight can lead to big headaches. Too often, it’s 4:30 p.m. on a Friday, you find out your trusted machinist is away on a fishing trip ...
