We can make our 3D-printed parts even more capable when we start mixing them with some essential “mechanical vitamins.” By combining prints with screws, nuts, fasteners, and pins, we get a rich ...

Impulse heat staking simplifies installation of brass inserts by generating heat only when needed and keeping the cycle consistent from part to part. Real-time depth verification adds straightforward ...

Sometimes, when making a 3D printed object, plastic just isn’t enough. Probably the most common addition to our prints is the ubiquitous brass threaded inset, which has proven its worth time and again ...
