News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
3D Printz Limited, a 3D printing distribution company based in Telford, UK, has signed a reselling agreement with 3D Gloop!, a local developer of adhesives for 3D printed parts. The glue products have been specifically engineered for ABS, PLA and PETG 3D prints and are described as “ludicrously strong.”
With the travel and social restrictions imposed to keep the COVID-19 pandemic at bay, doing business looks a lot different today than it did last year. No longer are AM industry players meeting at trade shows or traveling to global offices, instead, we are tuning in virtually to stay in touch. Despite the physical and mental challenges of talking to a screen all day, I think the additive manufacturing industry has made the best of the situation, quickly rallying to create webinars and other engaging digital content.

Designing for additive manufacturing (DfAM) can seem daunting. Often, the phrase DfAM is juxtaposed with images of complex lattice structures or forms that look more organic than mechanical. In reality, 3D printing is inherently a very forgiving process when it comes to design best practices. It can easily perform internal sharp corners, complex undercuts and even build a structure that would be fully inaccessible to traditional cutting or tooled manufacturing. This is what has made additive manufacturing a powerful tool for prototyping parts destined for injection molding or casting since it can handle a broad mix of design features.
