Torus is filled with complexities: bayonets, text on ribs, gears, bump-offs, clip cams and more. We created the design aid to illustrate that just because we manufacture parts really fast, it doesn’t mean you’re limited to certain features...

The use of simulation in A&D has evolved from early experimentation to become a critical part of the product design and development cycle, so much so that the sheer amount of simulation data has become a management challenge. Companies...

You got it. 3D printing is great for prototypes, but here's what you need to know about 3D printed industrial-grade parts.

Online portals are quickly becoming the industry standard for parts. Here's a look at the benefits and when to bring in specialists.

A complex design, dispersed teams, limited runs and tight deadlines proved no barrier to success. Sounds like a Hollywood plot.

For the third year, DE has worked with Senvol to share material providers of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) materials from the Senvol Database.

The company has recently invested in additional manufacturing equipment for its American and European facilities to support business growth. 

When the tools for the job proved too cumbersome, this engineer re-engineered his tools and used production-grade 3D printing for the final part.

Design engineers developing consumer electronics were some of the first to arrive at the intersection of hardware, electronics, software and aesthetics. That intersection has since become jammed with engineers from various disciplines trying to navigate their way through an ever-changing...

Post-processing a 3D printed part is still a highly manual operation, but new technologies can help reduce both time and cost.

You don't have to rush then wait to have the prototypes that keep your new product development moving along.

Proto Labs has completed its acquisition of privately held Rapid Manufacturing Group, LLC in New Hampshire, a custom parts supplier.

Design for additive manufacturing will require new software tools and a new approach.

Proto Labs’ rapid manufacturing helps power innovative solutions, products.

Smart people, smart tools and smart partners can make things happen.
