As technology advances engineering and manufacturing processes, two powerful simulation techniques, Mold Flow Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have emerged as indispensable tools for engineers and manufacturers. These computational methods offer […]
WEBINAR: Produce Fast, Functional Prototypes with Freeform Injection Molding
In this webinar hosted by Nexa3D, Jeremy Smith and Clifford Green from Alpine Advanced Materials share how their full-service engineering and manufacturing firm uses Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) with high-performance materials to help aerospace and […]
Lightweight eVTOL Aircraft Could Soon Fly You to Work
When inching along in traffic during a particularly slow morning commute, you might have wished for your car to lift off the ground and soar over the congested traffic in order to avoid the slow frustration of rush hour, a la the flying car in the classic […]
A Hot Topic for Firearms Optics: Thermal Stability
Unless you’re Wyatt Earp gunslinging against outlaws at the O.K. Corral, chances are you are a modern marksman either hunting, target-shooting, or the like and use an optic accessory for your firearm. Optics for modern firearms, such as scopes and red dot […]
The Capabilities of Composites
Though they may sound novel, composite materials have existed as long as the Earth’s oldest forests. Tree bark, and the wood drawn from it, is in fact a composite made of long cellulose fibers held together by lignin, a natural binding agent. Alone, both […]
Replacing Metal: Cost Savings with Injection Molding
Amid supply chain shortages and increased environmental consciousness, metal replacements are becoming increasingly popular—the composite materials market alone is projected to reach USD 126.3 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 7.5%. Making the switch away from […]
