The Greatest Potential for Additive Manufacturing

by Automation Alley | Mar 16, 2022

Summary

We're kicking off a brand new Conversations With series! This time around Tom is talking to Rich Garrity, President of Stratasys - a leader in Additive Manufacturing.

The Greatest Potential for Additive Manufacturing

Conversations With is back and Tom is talking to Rich Garrity, President of Stratasys, a company leading the way in 3D printer production and innovations in Additive Manufacturing. Tom jumps straight into it, asking Rich where he believes is the greatest potential for Additive Manufacturing – Rich’s answer may be hard for some manufacturers to hear.

Additive Manufacturing in Michigan: How to Move From 3D Printing Access to Business Results

by George Greenough | 3D Printing

A growing number of Michigan manufacturers are beginning to recognize that Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing (AM/3D) is moving beyond the category of emerging curiosity. It is becoming a practical manufacturing tool with real business applications.According to...

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

If you print parts that live outdoors, ABS filament is probably the wrong call. Most engineers and hobbyists default to ABS because it's familiar. It runs well on most machines and has been around long enough to feel like the safe pick for functional printing. But ABS...

ESD-Safe 3D Printing Materials Explained: How ESD Filaments Protect Sensitive Electronics

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

Static electricity can quietly destroy sensitive electronics, which is why ESD-safe 3D printing materials play a critical role in modern manufacturing. Understanding how these materials function helps explain their growing importance across industries...

Additive Manufacturing in Michigan: How to Move From 3D Printing Access to Business Results

by George Greenough | 3D Printing

Michigan manufacturers are increasingly adopting additive manufacturing, but realizing its full value requires disciplined application, process knowledge, and selecting the right use cases.

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

ABS is the default for functional 3D printing, but it has one fatal flaw outdoors: UV exposure breaks it down. ASA filament was engineered to fix that. It matches ABS on mechanical properties, prints easier in real-world setups, and holds up in sunlight where ABS does not. Here’s the chemistry, the spec comparison, and when each material is the right pick for your application.

ESD-Safe 3D Printing Materials Explained: How ESD Filaments Protect Sensitive Electronics

by 3DXTech | 3D Printing

ESD-safe 3D printing materials incorporate conductive additives to dissipate static electricity, protecting sensitive electronic components during manufacturing and handling.
