    DLP 3D Printer Guide

    A DLP 3D Printer is a tool that creates rapid prototypes through photopolymer resin. 3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process, which is the complete opposite of a subtractive process. While subtractive manufacturing processes like laser cutting and metal bending take away from metal to create parts, additive manufacturing builds parts from a 2D model. Unlike Stereolithography (SLA) printing, which uses a laser to create 3D objects,  DLP uses a light projector instead.

    Sheet Metal Bending Guide

    Sheet Metal Bending Guide

    Sheet metal bending is a deformation process that involves using a machine called a brake to bend metal. Metal can be bent into U shapes, V shapes, or channel to an angle of up to 120 degrees. It’s an efficient form of deformation that allows the metal to be formed into a new part. Unlike laser cutting, this is the simplest form of sheet metal forming.

    Benefits of Sheet Metal Fabrication

    Benefits of Sheet Metal Fabrication

    Sheet metal is defined as any type of metal that can become flattened pieces with a variety of thicknesses. Sheet metal fabrication is known as a subtractive manufacturing process. During this process, sheet metal’s material is removed via cutting. Typically, stainless steel or aluminum are the metals used but can also include alloy, carbon, and galvanized steel.
