When a 3D printed component has to be assembled with screws, especially if it's intended to be opened and closed several times during its operational life, the problem of thread durability quickly emerges. The polyamides and polymers used in 3D printing don't, in fact, offer the same threading...

MJF, FDM or resin? It's the first question anyone with a 3D file to produce asks themselves. Each technology offers different performance, materials, tolerances and costs; choosing the most suitable one directly affects production times, budget and the final result of the project. A wrong choice...

For a quality manager in the medtech sector, choosing a 3D printing supplier isn't simply a technical assessment, but a decision linked to risk management. Every component produced can enter the medical device's technical file. Every non-conformity can generate a CAPA. Every MDR or FDA audit,...

Elongation at break is one of the main parameters on material test certificates. It indicates how much a material deforms plastically before breaking under load and is a fundamental parameter for assessing its ductility. For the designer it's an essential piece of data: it makes it possible to...

Medical 3D printing has gone, in just a few years, from an experimental laboratory technology to a well-established production solution. Custom surgical instruments, orthopaedic guides, personalised prostheses, diagnostic components and single-use devices are today increasingly often made through...

Polyamide, commercially known as nylon, is one of the most widely used engineering polymers in industry.
In this guide, we examine the main types of polyamide (PA6, PA66, PA11, PA12 and filled grades) their key properties and the practical criteria for selecting the right grade.

The tensile test is the most widely used mechanical test in the world for characterising materials. A single test provides the data that every engineer uses on a daily basis: elastic modulus, yield strength, tensile strength and ductility.
In this article, we examine what the tensile test is, how...

Tensile strength is one of the most important mechanical properties in industrial design and material selection. It indicates the ability of a material to withstand forces that tend to elongate or fracture it.
