When was the last time you returned to the office after lunch and found yourself unable to concentrate, and perhaps a bit sleepy? How productive were you during this time? If you’re like most [...]

Most of our customers don’t know where the name Pipeline comes from. Here is a hint: it has nothing to do with oil, and little to do with engineering, at least nothing engineered by people. [...]

PolyJet 3D printing works by jetting layers of curable liquid photopolymer onto a build tray, similar to how an inkjet printer jets ink onto paper. UV curing bulbs are located next to the jetting [...]

Like the previous two prototyping methods discussed, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is also an additive process. It creates the models layer by layer using a thermoplastic extrusion process. The [...]

Another option for rapid prototyping is SLS, or Selective Laser Sintering. In SLS, prototypes are made by fusing (or “sintering”) powdered materials together with an infrared laser. [...]

One of the rapid prototyping processes that we use is Stereolithography. SLA (stereolithography apparatus) printers convert liquid plastic into solid objects. SLA uses lasers to cure layers of [...]

There are many different methods of prototyping, and each method has unique characteristics. Not every prototyping method will be ideal for your product development needs.  There are many aspects [...]

A seemingly simple device can make a world of difference in your daily life. We slouch in front of computers, we hold our phones while laying down, we prop laptops in our laps and hunch over them [...]

With the constant evolution of 3D printing technology, and the ability to print with materials other than just plastic, options are nearly limitless. In one case in India, a 3D-printed vertebrae [...]
