Free Sample Cube from Protomold®

Free Sample Cube from Protomold®

Designed to illustrate several important considerations when designing any part for injection molding. The cube showcases a range of available surface finishes and examples of good and bad form for bosses, gussets, and ribs. It also demonstrates the impact on part quality of overly thick or thin sections, as well as ways to incorporate holes and their potential effect on resin flow.

Military Applications in Combat Support

 

Military Applications in Combat Support Manufacturing by the removal of material may be among the oldest of human endeavors. As Brad Cleveland, CEO of Proto Labs likes to explain, the "Stone Age" takes its name from the process of chipping away unwanted rock to yield useful tools. Today, the process of computerized subtractive manufacturing has wide applications in industry.

And in the Military. Think about it. Who has a more exacting need for quickly copied parts, produced under the most severe conditions, than a battlefield commander in combat? So our U.S. Army has created sophisticated subtractive manufacturing centers for military installations at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait; Camp Anaconda, Iraq; and Bagram AFB, Afghanistan. More>>
