Medical extrusion providers are increasingly expected to produce complex, close-tolerance tubing that meets the functional design requirements of minimally invasive stent- and catheter ...

How does a design go from the computer screen to something you hold in your hand? Not being able to fully answer this question is a huge risk in manufacturing because . One of the important tools ...

Engineers who discount the importance of dimensional tolerance do so at their own risk. It’s like ignoring the odds in Vegas, and often with the same disappointing results. For instance, design a ...

In manufacturing, the devil is in the details—and the smallest oversight can lead to big headaches. Too often, it’s 4:30 p.m. on a Friday, you find out your trusted machinist is away on a fishing trip ...

The world’s fastest digital manufacturer of custom prototypes and low-volume production parts is helping to make life easier for design engineers by guaranteeing specific dimensional tolerances for ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
