Ten Advantages and Five Limitations of 3D Printing

Ten Advantages and Five Limitations of 3D Printing

Unlike traditional manufacturing machines, 3D printers create objects by cutting or molding. The method of forming physical objects by stacking layers expands the scope of digital concepts from a physical perspective. 3D printer is the preferred processing equipment for shape design requiring precise internal concave or interlocking parts, which can be realized in the physical world. The following is a similar description of people from various industries with different backgrounds and professional skills. 3D printing helps them reduce major cost, time and complexity barriers. Let's take a look at the advantages of 3D printing. The advantages of 3D printing cannot…

Common Problems in Heat Treatment of Abrasive Steel

Common Problems in Heat Treatment of Abrasive Steel

One Quenching crack (1) Shape effect. It is mainly caused by design factors, such as small fillet R, improper hole location, and poor section transition. (2) Overheating (overburn). It is mainly caused by inaccurate temperature control or temperature run out, too high process setting temperature, and uneven furnace temperature. Preventive measures include: maintenance, calibration of temperature control system, correction of process temperature, and adding sizing iron between the workpiece and furnace floor. (3) Decarbonization. It is mainly caused by overheating (or overburning), unprotected heating in the air furnace, small machining allowance, residual decarburization layer in forging or preparation heat treatment,…

Analysis of ten defects in aluminum die casting

Die casting is a metal casting process, which is characterized by the use of mold cavity to apply high pressure to molten metal, similar to plastic injection molding. Die casting is especially suitable for manufacturing a large number of small and medium-sized castings, so die casting is the most widely used one of various casting processes. Compared with other casting technologies, die casting has a more flat surface and higher dimensional consistency. However, nonstandard operations and parameters will also produce a wide variety of defects 1、Flow marks and patterns Visual inspection: the casting surface has stripes consistent with the flow…

Common sense of the four crafts of prototype production

After the completion of the product drawing or the design of a new product, usually before the product is put on the market, the market benefit analysis of the product will be done, or to confirm whether the drawing is different from the real object or whether the design is reasonable. Prototype will be the best choice for enterprises. Generally speaking, a prototype is a functional template that first makes one or more models according to the product design or structural drawings to check the appearance or structural rationality without opening a mold. In fact, it is a template. There…
