I want to gather the collective brilliance of all resin printing power users out there so we can help each other. Anyone who does a lot of resin printing for engineering & additive manufacturing. Please join my Discord as I try to ramp up a community! discord.gg/T2KgFvuEvg









Every engineer evaluating ULTEM 3D printers eventually asks the same question: Is a 120°C chamber enough? We put it to the test. Here's what we found 👉 hubs.la/Q04pckWn0 #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #3dprinters #3dprinted #3dprinter #materialscience #ULTEM






3D printing and additive materials have come a long way. Most people think resin prints are weak and brittle so I had a crazy idea for impact testing some parts 🤓 The end caps of these tubes are printed using @formlabs Tough 1000 resin, a new material with amazingly durable properties 🔥 These tubes are around 1 meter long and weigh about 30 lbs. We set up a scissor lift with a quick release mechanism inspired by the @MythBusters guys and dropped it a bunch from various heights, up to a max of 10 meters onto concrete 😱 The result? The parts survived. I honestly was blown away 🤯 Additive has come a long way 💪
