@RidgeFarmer @lunaticrider209 Print, depowder, media blast! Check out our website for more details on the workflow: bit.ly/4dnTuO7

@lunaticrider209 @formlabs So print, put in sintering oven and bake, bust off sintering dust, then tumble?

From prototyping to end-use parts. All on the same machine. SLS printing combines industrial-grade materials with the design freedom engineers need to create complex products with fewer manufacturing limitations. The team at Palladion Systems developed a print-in-place counter-UAV system manufactured as a single build with deployable arms integrated directly into the design. Manufactured on the Formlabs Fuse Series, this approach reduces assembly, speeds up iteration, and enables scalable production. Find more information about the manufacturing process here: bit.ly/49uPmLc For more information about Palladion Systems: palladionsystems.com

@lunaticrider209 After depowdering in the Fuse Sift, the parts go into the Fuse Blast for media blasting

@formlabs What’s the second machine called that the print goes into after??

If you haven't heard, Valve released the Steam Controller CAD so that people can design their own mods and accessories for it. And if you don't have a 3D printer yourself, or want to try some more industrial-quality materials, you can get them printed through a service like Form Now. I designed this hand stand to hold the controller and in 2 days, had it printed and delivered with Form Now. Here's the model if you'd like to get one for yourself: bit.ly/4tzQqVo

Accelerate product development, reduce costs and lead times, and bring better products to market by incorporating 3D printing and short-run injection molding into your development process. Find more information here: formlabs.com/applications/i…

What 3D printed material is the strongest? We put Formlabs 3D printed brackets head to head to see how they would withstand increasingly heavy weights. In this test we used Grey, Clear, Biomed Durable, Rigid 10k, Rigid 4k, and our new family of Tough Resins [Tough 1000, Tough 1500, Tough 2000]. What test should we run next?

Happy May the 4th! ⚔️✨ Actually, I forgot until a few days ago, so I ordered this 3D printed lightsaber in Nylon 12 SLS powder from Form Now, and it showed up at my door in 2 days, right on time for Star Wars Day. That's the magic of Form Now. You upload your file, pick from 28+ industrial-grade materials, and we print, post-process, and ship it out in as little as 2 days from our print farm in Massachusetts. Because we operate in the US and use our Formlabs SLA & SLS ecosystems, anyone can now order a single custom 3D printed part (or thousands!) as easy as buying something online, both in price and speed. May the 4th be with you. 🌌 Try Form Now today: bit.ly/49seFNT Model designed by 3DPrintingWorld on Printables. #MayThe4th #StarWarsDay #3DPrinting #FormNow #Formlabs #SLS #Nylon12 #AdditiveManufacturing

With the default orientation in PreForm, the cost estimate for this part is around 75 $. SLS cost per part is a complex topic though, as the final part costs are dependent on refresh rate, but also orientation and packing density. See our white paper for insights on the topic: bit.ly/4w4jyXr

@formlabs What's that part cost? Qty; 10pcs.

Formlabs TPU 90A Powder is a tough elastomer with high elongation at break and tear resistance, making it ideal for flexible, resilient, and skin-safe prototypes as well as end-use parts. In this video, we also tested the VX1 from DyeMansion for chemical smoothing to further refine the typical SLS surface finish. For more information, visit: bit.ly/4vYiVhP

@Aluminumovercst This is probably not the right material for that, but check out our resources on silicone part production to find the right workflow: bit.ly/4d1xs3P

@formlabs What’s its shrink rate and can it handle around 600deg f for a bit ? I need some silicone molds for ceramic coatings.

@jigert @grok This part can be printed in around 9 hours on the Fuse 1+ 30W!

@formlabs @grok how long does this print take that is shown in video?

This soft robotic tentacle, designed by ⁨YouTuber It's On My Mind, was printed as a single part on a Formlabs Form 4 resin 3D printer using Silicone 40A. Soft robotics engineers use 3D printing and Silicone 40A to create complex internal geometries - like pressure channels - printed in one piece, with no molds or post-assembly engineering required. When pressurized, those internal chambers steer the tentacle in any direction. #3DPrinting #Formlabs #Robotics

@openelabio Yes, the main advantage is the visibility helping to spot trapped air bubbles and to control the injection process better.

@formlabs we've been doing some resin mold casting at our makerspace and the trapped air thing is a real headache. does clear resin actually release cleaner than standard, or is it just the visibility that helps?

Silicone casting has never been so satisfying, or so transparent. By 3D printing molds in Formlabs Clear Resin on the Form 4, engineers can ensure silicone fills every tiny detail without any trapped air bubbles. The cast silicone part is a protective mask for automotive shock tubes, used to shield critical areas during the coating process. By using a 3D printed mold, they can cast and test prototypes in the real world before spending thousands to machine permanent factory tools. Thanks to Echo Engineering for the awesome demo! #engineering #3dprinting #silicone
