PLA Filament: A Guide for 3D Printing Enthusiasts

 PLA Filament: A Guide for 3D Printing Enthusiasts PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing . It is a biodegradable and sustainable material made from renewable sources such as corn or sugarcane. It is easy to use, widely available, and versatile. In this guide, we will explore the different types, benefits, and applications of PLA filament . Why Use PLA for 3D Printing? PLA filament has many advantages for 3D printing, such as: •  It has a low melting point , which means it can be printed at lower temperatures and does not need a heated bed. •  It has a low tendency to warp or deform, which means it can produce detailed and intricate models. •  It has minimal odor and does not emit harmful fumes, which makes it safer for indoor use. •  It comes in a variety of colors and finishes, which allows you to create colorful and attractive prints. •  It can be easily post-processed , such as sanded, painted, or smoot...

  Vexma Technologies Creates a 3D Printed Replica of a Cryogenic Tank for INOX India! Vexma Technologies , a 3D printing service provider, has collaborated with  INOX India , a leading manufacturer of cryogenic tanks and equipment, to create a 3D printed replica of a cryogenic tank using advanced additive manufacturing techniques. The model was made by using  FDM technology  and had a height of 30 cm and a diameter of 10 cm. The model was created or manufactured by Vexma Technologies for INOX India, at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) premises on December 21, 2023, as a token of appreciation and recognition. The occasion was the listing of INOX India on the BSE, where the company made a stellar debut with a 41 per cent premium over its issue price of Rs 660 per share. INOX India is a part of the INOX Group, which also owns INOX Air Products, INOX Leisure, and INOX Renewables. The company is a global leader in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation o...

FDM 3D Printing Technology | 3D Printing And Manufacturing | Additive Manufacturing

    FDM 3D Printing Technology Fused Deposition Modeling process In the domain of additive manufacturing, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) emerged as a pioneering technique revolutionizing industrial processes. This discourse delves into the technical intricacies of FDM 3D printing, elucidating its engineering underpinnings and practical applications in modern manufacturing. Foundations of FDM Technology: FDM, a subclass of 3D printing, hinges on the  controlled deposition of thermoplastic filament layers. This process, facilitated by a heated nozzle, results in the successive buildup of a three-dimensional object. The precision and repeatability inherent in this layered deposition mechanism underscore FDM's suitability  across diverse engineering sectors. • FDM can be used to print functional parts for various applications, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and military. FDM can also print complex geometries, such as lattice structures, that are difficult...

Vacuum Casting Process Advantages & Disadvantages & Materials Guide

Vacuum Casting Process Advantages & Disadvantages, Process & Materials  Vacuum Casting is the production process In which resin material is put into a mould with the help of a vacuum. Vacuum casting is one of the most popular methods for casting. It is also known as polyurethane casting, and urethane casting(other popular terms used for Vacuum casting are- silicone tooling/moulding, soft moulding, room‐temperature‐vulcanizing tooling/moulding, or resin casting ). It is suited best for rapid prototyping, and low-mid volume batch production. It can be considered an economic replacement for Injection moulding. It has a wide range of material options, which are more versatile, isometric & have better properties. Vacuum Casting Process Advantages & Disadvantages Vacuum Casting Advantages  Vacuum casting can produce faster than  3d printing & injection moulding The vacuum casting method has lower material waste, manufacturing & moulding cost. It is eco-f...
