Design Guide for 3D Printed Tooling
Freeform injection molding combines the freedom of 3D printing with the reliability and mechanical performance of conventional injection molding. A complex tool is printed using a dissolvable xMOLD resin that is compatible with the actual molding feedstock to create prototypes and production parts in final grade plastics – within hours and at a fraction of conventional tooling costs. This comprehensive guide will walk you through all the design considerations and guidelines to optimize your 3D printed tool design.

Ultimate Guide for Production Readiness
In the world of additive manufacturing, Powder Bed Fusion reigns supreme for many. The category of 3D printers is capable of producing real, usable parts in production materials like PA 12. Within PBF, there are really just two sub-categories of technologies. The one that uses lasers to draw and sinter powder (SLS) and the one that uses a spray binder to bind the powder – which will be sintered later (HSS). Which is the right one for you? In this guide Todd Grimm and his team of super users has done the testing and the breakdown so you don’t have to.

Technical Review of LSPc® | Next Gen mSLA
A technical overview of masked stereolithography (mSLA) and the emergence of Nexa3D’s patented Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc®) process that enables fast print speeds.
We take a closer look at the evolution of the stereolithography process that ultimately led to the invention of masked stereolithography and then the Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing technology, a 3D printing process that is orders of magnitude faster than the original stereolithography process.
