In our previous installment, we mentioned how having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. This article will walk through how to make tooling with a low-cost 3D printer.

3D printing has revolutionized silicone mold making by enabling faster, more affordable, and highly detailed masters for casting. From hobbyists to engineers, creators can now iterate designs quickly ...

3D printing is reshaping mold making, allowing creators to produce custom, detailed, and cost-effective molds for resin, silicone, metal, and more. With the right material selection, design techniques ...

Visiting the Midwest RepRap Festival, you will, of course, find a ton of 3D printed baubles and trinkets. A slightly more interesting find at this year’s MRRF was a lot of resin cast parts from [Mark ...

Aiming to combat labor shortages, Lyons Industries has been gradually installing automated processes to replace the traditionally labor-intensive spray-up process for its fiberglass composite bathtubs ...

Having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. As technology advances, it tends to become more accessible as it drops in price or increases user-friendliness. Once 3D ...
