Material Selection & Design

When it comes to 3D printing material selection and design, it is important to consider factors such as cost, performance requirements, sustainability, and surface finish. With the right combination of materials and design elements in place you can ensure your product meets all expectations.

Material selection is the foundation of all engineering applications and design. This selection process can be defined by application requirements, possible materials, physical principles, and selection

Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) is the process of adjusting your design to make it cheaper, faster, or more effective to manufacture. Executing proper design for additive manufacturing techniques can increase yield and save time and costs when building your manufacturing process by ensuring that your 3D printers are used effectively

It enables engineers to quickly identify areas where material can be removed or redistributed, resulting in lighter, stronger designs with improved performance characteristics

Materials Characterization is an important process in which a material's chemical, microstructure and physical properties are probed, measured and determined using a variety of analytical methods, techniques and tools
