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.
FFF 3D Printer Guide
What is an FFF 3D Printer? An FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printer is a tool that creates rapid prototypes through filaments. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process, which is the complete opposite of a subtractive process. While subtractive...
PartsBadgers Hires Marketing Coordinator
Parts Badger hires a new marketing coordinator in December to expand the marketing team. Jeremy Hansen will take charge of content creation, social media, landing page creation, and SEO management on the website.
SLA 3D Printer Guide
An SLA 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. Unlike Fused Depositional Modeling printing, which uses filaments to create 3D objects, SLA uses resin instead.
Parts Badger Expands 3D Printing Capabilities
Parts Badger is now offering 3D Printing services to all their customers. After receiving many inquiries about the service, Roy Dietsch, CEO of PartsBadger, made the decision to expand their capabilities to 3D printing.
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.
FDM 3D Printer Guide
An FDM 3D Printer is a tool that creates rapid prototypes through filaments. 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.
Laser Cutter Guide
What is a Laser Cutter? The Laser cutter is a specific type of sheet metal cutting tool. This tool uses a high intensity light to cut unnecessary portions off to make a high quality surface finish in an efficient and cost effective manner. The laser uses computer...
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.
