The birth of 3D printing materials in the construction industry
Everything has its two sides and its advantages and disadvantages, and 3D printing is no exception. A very common disadvantage of 3D printing is that the strength of the parts produced by it is not as strong as those produced by traditional manufacturing. However, with the continuous progress of 3D printing materials and technology, 3D printing parts also show their unique strength and durability, which are equal to and even surpass traditional manufacturing. Now researchers at the University of Wisconsin Madison in Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, have developed 3D printing materials that are much stronger than other materials used...

How was the military quick prototyping model process made at the air show?
The various military equipment we saw on the air show are actually military equipment models produced by the prototype factory, also known as the prototype. According to the requirements, some of these prototypes will be scaled down according to the prototype in size, but the appearance and structure are basically the same as the prototype, and have some functions of the prototype. Some equipment can also be directly assembled into a real military equipment prototype for operation testing. Why do military equipment need to be modeled? Instead of directly producing products? To understand this problem, we must first understand the...

Understanding Rapid Prototyping: Definition, Techniques, and Applications
Rapid prototyping is a technique that allows the quick creation of a physical model or prototype using computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3D printing technology.
Casting is a metal smelting process, usually by using the gravity of the metal in the mold for casting. But "aluminum die-casting" is not done by gravity, it's done by pressure. It's kind of like injection molding. But it has a higher technical content of the core, cooling and other systems. In general, materials are delivered through a centralized inlet into the cavity to be cast and "molded" to form the part. Aluminum has a history of more than 100 years since it was discovered by the Danish scientist H.C.Orsted in 1825. It has been more than 100 years since...
